However, the tests for Kerberos and DTLS use the KDC server as infrastructure and don't compile because it uses Thread.stop and swallows the UOE. This is tracked by JDK-8360979. It is temporarily changed to use Thread.interrupt to avoid excluding many of tests in these areas. If JDK-8360979 is fixed then no change to KDC is needed.
