             Summary: Use Xvfb for build jobs instead of Xvnc
                 Key: JBIDE-10974
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10974
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: Build/Releng
         Environment: any
            Reporter: Mickael Istria
            Assignee: Nick Boldt


Xvfb is a minimalist in-memory X server, without VNC. For our use-case, Xvfb may be faster and may avoid some of the issues we have with Xvnc.
A Jenkins plugin exists to use Xvfb in Jenkins: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Xvfb+Plugin
It requires Xvfb to be install in the slaves we use of IC, and the plugin installed on Jenkins.
