I have attached the log output of the project which failed the test, namely : org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.ui.test .
Running tests with SWTBot requires you to keep focus on the test application while it's running. Otherwise tests will fail. There is a way to avoid active wait on Linux ( http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Automate_test_execution#Linux_hints ), but I'm not aware of a similar trick on Windows.
Also, there are some tests that are known to be currently failing with Eclipse 4.x version, see https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/view/SWTBot/job/swtbot-tycho-e4.2/ for a reference build using "mvn clean verify -Pkepler", and https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385527 and https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=404346 for more details about the causes of currently failing tests.
As a startup for you in the project, it would be an interesting (but not easy) entry-point to try to provide fixes on such bugs. Then you'll understand the global architecture of SWTBot and get used to the process of contributing.
