Eclipse MAT fails to run its tests with 4.30-I-builds/I20231104-0830/

[ajohnson1]

We are running the Eclipse Memory Analyzer 1.15.0 CI builds against Eclipse Platform https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.30-I-builds/ to pick up the fix for CVE-2021-28170

This has been working, but build https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.30-I-builds/I20231104-0830/ consistently fails to run the MAT tests, both locally with a Maven build and CI builds:

1505 was built successfully against 4.29, 1500 successfully against https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.30-I-builds/I20231101-1800/plugins/
I guess the workaround for us would be to build against a previous known good version, e.g. the M1.
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/S-4.30M1-202309271800/
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.30-I-builds/I20230927-1800/
so long as this a transient error.

The current active supported Tycho version is Tycho 4.0.3, you should really upgrade your toolchain if you want to keep up with latest Eclipse development.

Eclipse Memory Analyzer has now gone up to Tycho 4.0.3: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=582479
