on Cocoa platform, SWT UI Thread needs to run on main thread. It is a cocoa restriction.If you use SWTBotApplicationLauncherClassRunner on Mac OSX, you'll get the follow message.

***WARNING: Display must be created on main thread due to Cocoa restrictions.
Exception in thread "Thread-2" org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Invalid thread access

SWTBotApplicationLauncherClassRunner creates Display on another thread.
So it can't use on cocoa platform.

Reproducible: Always

I suggest to change point of view to think SWTBot's TestRunner like attachment source.The attached source is start on main thread, and running test on another thread.

Correct me if I am wrong but this is not related to GEFBot.

This is may be related to (or a duplicate of) bug 308425.
Comment 3 Ketan Padegaonkar CLA 2011-02-22 10:39:14 EST 
Marking as dup. Fixing this on cocoa is turning out to be a nightmare. Any suggestions to improve the situation are welcome. I'm myself stuck with development of swtbot on carbon 32bit.
