> 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?
