[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16161?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-16161: --------------------------------------- {quote} You report is more focused on a solution than on the issue: In the case of base component, how does it fail? How do you see the error? Are tests at least starting? {quote} If you take a look at https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/JBossTools/view/JBo... you will see the build is aborted after two hour timeout. If you try it locally, you will see that a lot of services aren't started. The tests are started, but the most of them either freeze or fail. For instance, CompatibilityEditor isn't initialized and all the tests that open a JBoss editor fail with a NPE. {quote} It seems to me that Tycho tests can generally run without PlatformAdmin being available (it probably depends on some test specificities). {quote} See http://git.eclipse.org/c/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho.git/tree/tycho-surefire/... The org.eclipse.tycho.surefire.osgibooter plugin won't start without the PlatformAdmin service, so a lot of the tests won't be run correctly. The following message can be often seen in the log: "Could not acquire PlatformAdmin server". {quote} Most other components have successfully run their tests without change in parent pom. I'm not sure changing surefire configuration is the optimal solution. {quote} I can't find any components that build on https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/JBossTools/view/JBo... The most of them require the base component that isn't built. Adding the o.e.e4.rcp feature would be the easiest solution. It is also possible to create a separate feature containing the compatibility fragment and include it to the main build or to every test separately.
