RFR: JDK-8220295: sun/tools/jps/TestJps.java still timing out

[gary.adams at oracle.com]

Yes, there will be more follow up after the patch is pushed.

I started a thread on jtreg-dev to discuss the current implementation
and possibly an enhancement to meet the need of the vmTestbase
tests that may have the wrong expectation of the current feature.
e.g. the previous test harness had a nonconcurrent option.

Filing a bug against jtreg will be cleaner after a bit more discussion 
there.

You had also suggested creating a stress test to see if we can
capture the jps hang. That may take a bit more time to consider
and is not as urgent as some other work items in progress.
