Hi,

I had an issue with the TestSimpleGeneratorService that can randomly fail and I suspect it could be related to the "Thread.sleep(1000)" statement:

https://github.com/gatein/gatein-portal/blob/master/component/web/security/src/test/java/org/exoplatform/web/security/TestSimpleGeneratorService.java

can someone give me the reason of this and if there is a possible track for improving this ?

The observed issue with Jenkins (exo private instance)  was:
