Patch Set 9: Looks good to me, but someone else must approve

I tried on Ubuntu 9.10 against helios M6 using openjdk 6 and all tests passed successfully.

Did you run maven on egit parent project or just on the ui test project ? The maven build installs egit and jgit features into the eclipse sdk used as test harness from the local update site built by the update site project using the maven property local-egit-site.
