Is there a way to avoid writing such an Eclipse plugin by using threads inside the JUnit test?

I tried this in the test:

final SWTBot bot = new SWTBot();

Runnable r = new Runnable() { public void run() { try { assertNotSame(bot.getDisplay().getThread(), Thread.currentThread()); bot.menu("File").click(); bot.menu("Open Product Teardown...").click(); bot.button("Open").click(); } catch (Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } } };

Thread t = new Thread(r); t.start();

But it didn't work since it throws WidgetNotFoundException. The threads are not the same, but it does not help in this approach. So I guess another condition must be met which I don't know of right now.
