Re: [jwt-dev] Documentation and build updates

[Mickael Istria <mickael.istria@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello (again),

Since build.eclipse.org runs a X server, it is now used for testing 
(added "export DISPLAY=localhost:1.0" in build.sh to use this X server 
by default).
That means that:
* You don't require a X server on your local machine, nor to connect 
using "ssh -X"
* Build now takes 4 to 8 minutes instead of 10 to 15.

Still is remaining the permissions problem. Some projects (php and wtp) 
have a custom user that they use for builds (phpBuild and wtpBuild). I 
wonder whether we could also have a jwtBuild user, that we could all use 
for builds. If this solution seems good for you, I'll ask Denis on this 
topic.

Regards
Mickael
