Please, review this test change
Issue : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8057149
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jbachorik/8057149/webrev.00
The test is using 'jcmd' to start/stop the JMX agent dynamically with
various parameters. Some of the tests use a server socket to simulate
starting the agent with the desired port not being available. However,
it seems that in certain situations the agent does not provide a
conscious error message and fails with RuntimeException instead. This
seems to be timing related and therefore the solution is to retry the
'jcmd' command a few times with a delay to provide some cushion for the
timing related problems.
Thanks,
