jmx-dev RFR: 8024613 javax/management/remote/mandatory/connection/RMIConnector_NPETest.java failing intermittently

[shanliang]

Jaroslav,

It is a good idea to use the RMI Testlibrary.

Better to call:
        agent.close();

at Line 55,  close the RMIRegistry (rmid.shutdown(rmidPort) Line 55) 
does not ensure the JMX connector doing full clean, it is always better 
to do clean within a test.
