Hi Mickael and Nick,

Hi,

We've been having a problem with running our bot tests on OS X with java 1.7. This is what we get:

java.awt.AWTException: headless environment

To overcome this, we need to add this property to the tycho surefire argLine: -Dawt.toolkit=sun.lwawt.macosx.LWCToolki

I hate Mac, they are the worst thing that happened to Java developers, I still don't understand why so many Java developers use them... That said ;)
Is this property set by default on Mac when using Eclipse? Are there some success stories of Eclipse on OSX with Java 1.7 ?
It could be an upstream issue.

Also, I'd rather not using some complex and immature Expression Language extension in the parent pom. We already have a lot of things to improve with the way we build, using such a not-standard thing sounds like shooting in our own feet.
If we can't find a better way, this will be yet-another-profile-for-OSX in the pom.xml.
