Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] running UI tests in JIRO

[Frederic Gurr <frederic.gurr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please be kind and always remember https://xkcd.com/979/.

As for documentation. 
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Jenkins#How_do_I_run_UI-tests_on_the_cluster-based_infra.3F 
was pointing in the right direction (to use the centos-7 pod template). 
I've edited it to explicitly mention metacity and mutter. If you want to 
add more info, please open a ticket. Otherwise, this should be good enough.

Almost all Eclipse projects that are using UI test made the transition 
to our cluster based infrastructure two years ago, so this has not been 
a regular topic for a long time.

Regards,

Fred
