Hi, As discussed in https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-base/pull/84 and related jiras wether you run your test with or without UI test harness can have a great effect on speed and consistency of your test runs. Our build (in parent pom) defaults to enable it to true since in the past most of our test needed the UI/workbench to be running. If you think your tests has any chance or running without the UI test harness please do go and do something similar to what is shown here for Usage tests: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-base/pull/84/files Your build email inbox and rest of the team will thank you for faster and more repeatable builds :) Thanks, /max
