I take in account the AWT problem on Mac OS: in ssh session due to compatibility reason AWT switches to X11 toolkit if DISPLAY variable is defined. But Mac OS implementation of X11 toolkit has a deadlock/linkage problems. In JDK8 the X11 toolkit support is obsolete and problem would be resolved by AWT team. Alexey - can you explain this comment a bit further? Are you saying that the X11 support has been removed or will be removed? We've had major grief get automated testing running on Mac OSX and I would prefer not to remove the tests from the ProblemList until we are confident that the AWT deadlock issue has been resolved.
