This option is specified with -XX, which are non-standard, not stable and are subject to change without notice.
So it is not necessary to use it in the test, since the same result can be achieved differently.

I do not see the problem in the "limit xmx" + "throw/catch OOM" + "check the results".
I guess this is only correct way to check it without possibility to introduce infinite loop which checks weakref.get().
Why don't you like it?
