RFR (XS): OutOfMemoryError when running jdk/internal/shellsupport/doc/JavadocHelperTest.java

[B. Blaser]

Hi,

When running tier1 like this:

$ make run-test-tier1

I get only one failing test due to an OutOfMemoryError because it
exceeds the default 512Mb limit [1].

One way to solve this problem is to disable the memory limit when
running the tests with JTREG="MAX_MEM=0", but I guess this would be
more convenient to increase the memory limit of this sole test with
'-Xmx1G', as below.

Any comment is welcome.

Cheers,
Bernard
