We have a Jenkins running on Apache. Apache is running as a Windows Service. This service is configured to use the "SYSTEM" account, with flag "Allow service to interact with desktop". This setting is needed to successfully execute UI tests.

In some cases Tycho stops with exception "Could not create Tycho secure store file". Unfortunately it doesn't show the path where Tycho wants to create the secure store:
mavenExecutionResult exceptions not empty
message : Could not create Tycho secure store file
cause : The system cannot find the path specified
Stack trace :

In our case the problem could ve solved using Sysinternals "Process Monitor". I gave us the missing path, in our case "d:\temp". But a log entry would be much easier.

that means you can't write to java.io.tmpdir. This kind of setup will very likely cause other problems.

Fixed with http://git.eclipse.org/c/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho.git/commit/?id=fad9a63e3e75bdff94b57b5f21c0a15fad6c60d4
