I need to write some end-to-end tests for a Swing GUI application, likely running on Linux. Note that these are not unit tests. I am not testing through the API. Rather I am launching the application (in this case IntelliJ IDEA with our plugins installed) and select menu items, press buttons, read the screen, and so forth.
What tools are folks using for this? Open source strongly preferred (since the plugins we’re testing are open source) but this is not absolutely required.

Crossed Genres has published Ants on a Trestle, my latest hard SF short story in their 2065 themed issue. 50 years from now we can get anywhere on the planet in a couple of hours, but we still can’t keep the Argentine Ant out of anywhere it wants to go. I fudged the biology a bit in this story, but the engineering and physics described is very, very real.
