Hello,

I'm trying to get the XVNC plugin working in conjunction with my maven flex-mojo build so I can do flexunit testing, but I've run into a snag. My vnc server starts correctly at the begining of the build, but when it's time for the flexunit tester to connect, the build just hangs. I have a theory though . . .

I'm using tightvnc on ubuntu 8.04 running hudson through tomcat5.5. In order to start the vncserver I had to create a password that is stored at /usr/share/tomcat55/.vnc/passwd. While the hudson build is running, I can connect to the vnc server using a different VNC Client, but only if I use the password I have set.

Is there a way to to specify a password for hudson to use when connecting to the vnc session during the build?

Thanks in advance, I can post log files and other info if that helps.

I install and start Xvfb and set the DISPLAY env var, but when the task gets to the point of launching the swf in the flash player, the build hangs, with no error output. Same thing happens with the Xvnc plugin.. I have no idea if or whether the Linux flash player puts log files anywhere & there doesn't seem to be documentation on that.. any ideas??
