Thank you! I'll change it.

The test sends couple of jcmd commands to the single server process.
jcmd do attach, call, detach for each command. So I have to keep server
running for some time.

 Server process with just while(true) sleep(1); would run forever if
test  doesn't kill it for some reason - it's why I use busy code.

So I'm open for any advice here.
