Can someone please comment on the usage of metacity

I can see that the swtbot testcases fails with
widgetnotfound exception if metacity (windows manager) is not
started but I am curious that this the reason for the problem.
Is there anyother Windows manager we can use for swtbot? If so
can you please provide an example for the usage?
The Window Manager is necessary to get SWTBot working, especially
when it comes to menus. If you don't have it, some widgets that are
generally delegated to the Window Manger simply won't be accessible.
You can use any Window Manager you know it's working. Some example
include unity (Ubuntu only), twm, fvwm... But metacity or unity are
by far the most usual window managers, so that's why it's
recommanded to use one of them. Metacity is available on almost all
Linux distributions.
