Since I20250719-1350 23 cases from org.eclipse.pde.build.tests fail with

All attempts to find the executable failed including fallback to /home/jenkins/agent/workspace/AutomatedTests/ep437I-unit-linux-x86_64-java21/workarea/I20250719-1350/eclipse-testing/test-eclipse/deltapack/eclipse or to /home/jenkins/agent/workspace/AutomatedTests/ep437I-unit-linux-x86_64-java21/workarea/I20250719-1350/eclipse-testing/deltapack/eclipse

could be a regression from

• Define extra equinox.exe P2 unit using p2.inf file eclipse-equinox/equinox#1089
• [Build] Restore compressed content.xml for platform repository eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator#3191

I'm investigating it.

After tonight's I-build the master build (then using the latest I-build as TP) shows the same errors. Therefore the verification build should already confirm the fix of the test as a similarly configured setup is used:

• Use o.e.equinox.executable.feature.group in pde.build.tests #1885

Awesome.
