Description Jonah Graham CLA 2016-12-14 14:42:53 EST 
More often than not at least one of the SWTBot tests in the org.eclipse.cdt.autotools.ui.tests UI package fails, leading to lots of UNSTABLE builds.

I believe this is because of the HIPP upgrade affecting SWTBot tests, the bug for that is Bug 506995.

For now I am disabling these tests, with approval of the CDT committers (https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg31453.html).

I am disabling the tests on master and cdt_9_2 (the two active branches). The idea is when the dependent Bug 506995 changes state we can reenable the tests.

I have disabled the tests by removing them from their suite, the individual tests should still be runnable from within the IDE.

Those two commits disable the tests and should be reverted as soon as Bug 506995 is resolved.
