Add -XstartOnFirstThread as a command line argument for Mac ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-11666 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11666 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Build/Releng Affects Versions: 3.3.0.Beta3 Reporter: Lucia Jelinkova Assignee: Lucia Jelinkova Fix For: 3.3.0.CR1 Attachments: JBIDE11666-proposed-patch-to-parent-pom-adds-platformSystemProperties.patch.txt I am trying to run SWTBot tests on Jenkins on a Mac OS slave.

However, the VM on Linux cannot handle the parameter, so it needs to be specified only for Mac. In order not to repeat the configuration in every test module. Could you please provide a new profile in parent pom activated for Mac that would add the mentioned parameter to the tycho-surefire-plugin's argLine property?
