On my machine and build configuration (Linux 2.4.20, XFree86 4.3.0, JDK 1.4.0_04, nbbuild/misc/full-build-linux.sh using VNC) for the past week or so IDEValidation has always hung in testMainMenu, forcing me to shut down the tested IDE manually. The IDE does not appear hung - its GUI is still responsive etc. if I open the VNC client window and play with it. But the test just stops. Including log file with thread dump. Creating a java.awt.Robot from off the event queue sounds very suspicious to me.
Created attachment 12175 [details] Test log w/ thread dump
Is it still reproducable in your environment? It works for me.
Working for me currently too. Still note the use of Robot off EQ.

Initialization of Robot was replaned to EQ from version 1.10 of RobotDriver: http://jemmy.netbeans.org/source/browse/jemmy/src/org/netbeans/jemmy/drivers/input/RobotDriver.java
