Hi

These changes were already reviewed internally.
Looks good for me. Please get official review from Reviewers.

> The scope of the JEP is an implementation of a library which uses jtreg timeout handler and observer extension points to collect information about environment in case of test failures (including timeouts) and about test processes in case of timeouts. This data is then presented together with the test failure to simplify analysis.

Each platform family uses its own property file (named <family>.properties) and common.properties, which contains platform independent tools, such as jps. Using property files allows to easily extend the tools that are used to collect information on test failure or timeout in the future. See the JEP for a more thorough overview of the collected data. Currently, we are using the following tools:
