Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-10974:
----------------------------------------
Indeed, switching back from Xvfb to Xvnc when necessary is possible.
But we also make husge efforts to get build behave locally almost the same way they behave
on CI, so I hope thet in case a build is blocked on CI, it is always possible to reproduce
the issue locally, which is more convenient for debugging.
Use Xvfb for build jobs instead of Xvnc

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.
