Description Wojciech Sudol CLA 2015-01-27 06:01:46 EST 
Multiple unit test from suite org.eclipse.e4.ui.tests fail with the latest build (M5 candidate): 
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/I20150126-2000/testresults/html/org.eclipse.e4.ui.tests_macosx.cocoa.x86_64_7.0.html

The same failures occur on my local Mac. Investigating...

It is strange, because now these tests fail even with older builds (i.e. I20150113-0800) in my environment.

I analyzed OS update logs on my Mac and noticed that there was an update to my Java 1.7 (currently it is 1.7.0_04-b21). So I installed Java 8 Update 31 (already suggested by OS). After that it turns out that the tests fails with Java 1.7, but passes with Java 1.8.

Unfortunately I don't see any similar update event on our build/test machine, so it is not necessarily the root cause of the problem.
Comment 4 Wojciech Sudol CLA 2015-01-28 02:58:45 EST 
With the latest build (I20150127-0900) the number of failing tests decreased from 6 to 2. Looks like an issue related to Mac environment.
Comment 5 Wojciech Sudol CLA 2015-04-27 11:23:07 EDT 
These tests no longer fail.
