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.
With the latest build (I20150127-0900) the number of failing tests decreased from 6 to 2. Looks like an issue related to Mac environment.
These tests no longer fail.
