I am trying to run SWTBot tests on Jenkins on a Mac OS slave. By default, it fails with the following error:

I've found out that the Display needs to be created on thread 0 - this can be accomplished by adding -XstartOnFirstThread as a VM argument. 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?
