Project Sikuli : Innovative approach to Scripting using image recognition.

Project Sikuli is a new automation scripting language developed by MIT students. This new development environment uses image recognition for processesing. So you can say click on this image on the screen then type this etc.. The syntax look like Python and the IDE is based on Java. So any machine with JRE can run this. I'm really planning to do some server side test case automation based on this new language. If you check the project site even the 0.9.7 release contains lots of features. For more information check :
http://sikuli.org/

For examples (especially the bejeweled bot shows the skills of this new IDE):

Eclipse Character Set Problem During Save

I'm using ECLIPSE as the Perl editor on my Windows machine together with EPIC Perl. If I copy/paste sample code from Perl books I get the error :

Save could not be completed.
Reason:

Some characters cannot be mapped using "Cp1254" character encoding.
Either change the encoding or remove the characters which are not supported by the "Cp1254" character encoding..



In order to overcome this problem go Window > Preferences > General > Content Types > Text > Perl Source Files > Default Encoding and make it UTF-8
