jmx-dev RFR 8031559: javax/management/monitor/StartStopTest.java fails intermittently

[Staffan Larsen]

You added:

  30  * @library /lib/testlibrary
  31  * @run build jdk.testlibrary.Utils
  ...
  57 import jdk.testlibrary.Utils;

But I don’t see any actual usage of Utils.

Otherwise it looks good.

This can lead to race conditions making the test fail. The other test improvement is to honor the "test.timeout.factor" property to properly scale any timeouts used in the test.
