This results in calling `BasicDirectoryModel.validateFileCache` which starts a background thread — "Basic L&F File Loading Thread" — to enumerate the files.

"When the test passes, it usually completes in 5 minutes."

and you've never seen the test time out ? I thought default jtreg timeout is 120 seconds.
