Hi Emmanuel, I did consider the option. However, there are several issues.
The main one is that the tests do not explicitly require a session manager. The requirement comes from one of the dependencies. Therefore, there is no clear way to determine a priori if a test needs a session manager. Of course, this could be done a posteriori, but given the large number of tests, this would be a very tedious task. Another problem is that the tests are automatically collected and run by ant, so even if I managed to identify which tests require a session manager, I would not know how to disable them specifically. Finally, from what I have seen, a large fraction of the tests do require a session manager. Disabling them would likely lead to a significantly restricted set of tests that are not very relevant, since NatTable is a graphical library.
