Nick Boldt resolved JBDS-487.
-----------------------------

    Resolution: Done


This works, more or less:

# configure X server thread for tests; see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Modeling_Project_Releng/Building_Zips_And_Jars#UI_Testing
# pick a random port between 1 and 5
xport=$(expr '(' $RANDOM % 4 ')' + 1);
echo "Start Xvfb on :${xport}"
Xvfb :${xport} -ac & # -screen 0 1024x768x16 -ac &
export DISPLAY=localhost:${xport}.0
xhost +

(then run ant)

# drop X server process threads used by tests
if [[ -r /tmp/.X${xport}-lock ]]; then kill `cat /tmp/.X${xport}-lock`; fi
if [[ -f /tmp/.X${xport}-lock ]]; then rm -fr /tmp/.X${xport}-lock; fi
