The MockCentralEditor Eclipse Plug-in provides an easy-to-use, fully featured editor for MockCentral configuration files. It is designed to provide straightforward and intuitive controls and conforms to standard Eclipse editor behaviour and conventions.

The plug-in is built on top of the MockCentralEditor-Core library, upon which it relies for all of the logical code for reading and updating the xml elements, data validation, communcation between different components of the editor structure and message resource management. This application is principally responsible for implementing interfaces and providing view components that function specifically within the Eclipse environment. "Extras" supplied by the plug-in which do not directly correspond to parts of the core library include the undoable Operation and Action classes, display helpers such as ContentProviders and LabelProviders, the "new file wizard" capability and the Classes in the org.mockcentral.editor.components package that contribute to the FormEditor Class that provides the main editor component.

Mock Central is an easy-to-use, fully-featured set of tools that provides a new approach to java software testing using Mock Objects. It enables the developer to create and access libraries of Mock Objects defined in xml files external to the testing code, allowing for cleaner Test Cases and easy Mock Object organization and reuse.
