    iRPGUnit is already supported as a plugin to RDi
    https://irpgunit.sourceforge.io/
    Simply go to Help>Eclipse Marketplace and search for iRPGUnit
    Note that this is an open source project and the plugin capability was contributed

    Maria Schwenk's IBMiUnit is also open source
    https://irpgunit.sourceforge.io/
    Anyone is free to contribute the RDi plugin ability just like was for iRPGUnit.
