I believe there's EGit and mylyn that use SWTBot for testing, I'm not
sure if they actually run the tests on hudson.eclipse.org.

Yes EGit is using SWTBot to run UI tests and we also run them on hudson.eclipse.org.

You need to switch on XVnc and start a window manager before running the UI tests.

We do that in a shell build step immediately before the UI tests are started:

# ui tests need a window manager

metacity --replace --sm-disable &

We made the experience that some of the UI tests are brittle. Looks like this is caused

by asynchronous things happening in background jobs.
