Build time trends tend to show that Xvfb is a bit faster than Xvnc on a very basic test. I
can remember that for a previous project with over 200 SWTBot tests, moving from Xvnc to
Xvfb save time proportionnally to the number of tests.
So that's worth the effort, we can expect saving a few dozens of minutes of Hudson
load daily.

Key: JBIDE-10974
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10974
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: Build/Releng
Environment: any
Reporter: Mickael Istria
Assignee: Mickael Istria
Fix For: 3.3.0.Beta3
Xvfb is a minimalist in-memory X server, without VNC. For our use-case, Xvfb may be
faster and may avoid some of the issues we have with Xvnc.
A Jenkins plugin exists to use Xvfb in Jenkins:

It requires Xvfb to be install in the slaves we use of IC, and the plugin installed on
Jenkins.
