Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-11666:
------------------------------------

We already have a profile for this, which sets systemProperties:

{code}                <profile>
                        <id>osx</id>
                        <activation>
                                <property>
                                        <name>java.vendor.url</name>
                                        <value>http://www.apple.com/</value>
                                </property>
                        </activation>
                        <properties>
                                <!-- THE FOLLOWING LINE MUST NOT BE BROKEN BY AUTOFORMATTING -->
                                <systemProperties combine.children="append"> -d32 -Dosgi.arch=x86 -XstartOnFirstThread </systemProperties>
                        </properties>
                </profile>
{code}
Does that also work for tests, or do we need to have that profile also override this string?
{code}
<argLine>${tycho.testArgLine} ${memoryOptions1} ${memoryOptions2} ${systemProperties} -Dusage_reporting_enabled=false</argLine>
{code}
Is it possible that the specific test you're running overrides the configuration for the tycho-surefire-plugin plugin in its pom.xml?

Or is it possible that the vendor string for YOUR JDK isn't matching this name/value pair?

{code}<name>java.vendor.url</name>
<value>http://www.apple.com/</value>{code}

> 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?
