I don't think this is a new problem, the jps tests have been known to 
fail when run after other tests that have left VMs running. I think 
Staffan's changes are okay, an alternative would have been to able 
handle strings such as " -- main class information unavailable" but I 
think that just complicates things, and there may be others too.
