----------------------------------------
[~maxandersen] > Talking with tycho guys they pointed out that surefire tests currently
resolve TP twice - one at build startup and secondly for calculating TP per test run.
Again a reason to look at being able to run tests against an existing eclipse install to
avoid overhead of TP calculation.
Although I totally understand that there would be value in running tests from an Eclipse
installation additionally to running them as "unit tests" as part of the build;
I don't think it's a valid reason to speak about the "overhead of TP
calculation".
Calculating a TP is something quite fast, about a few seconds. What takes time is to
download artifacts from remote repositories. And since Tycho caches locally downloaded
artifacts, it actually happen that an artifact is downloaded only once on a machine.

On a good day, tests will run and all pass in under 4hrs.
On a grey day, tests will have failures but complete in under 6hrs.
On a bad day, tests will stall out and the job will fail when it hits its duration upper
limit of 8hrs.

Surely some of these tests are:
a) integration, not unit test, and should be relocated to
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-integration-tests/ and run as part of a new job
like
https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/job/jbosstools-4.1_trunk...
?
b) reliant on UI which is blocking, and should therefore be rewritten so as to not block
test execution?
