Description Mickael Istria

In order to be able to run tons of UI tests at the same time, I tried to run SWTBot tests on another display of my machine using XVNC plugin.
Most of these tests just failed with a "cannot find display".

It looks like Display.getDefault causes troubles in multi-display X environment.

I think that the lifecycle of Display in test is a bit tricky, and I've made some improvements to ensure Display is created only once for a test, and that all other places consumes directly this display by reference, or by resolving it via Display.getCurrent() - which only runs in methods annotated by @UIThread.

I think the buggy behavior I reported is more the consequence of not having a window manager rather than an issue in code.
I make some more tests, but this will probably be an INVALID.

Confirmed as INVALID. The issue was that I did not have a window manager running on the DISPLAY hosting SWTBot.
