<Swing Dev> JDK-4290274 (timer) java.util.Timer.scheduleAtFixedRate() fails if the system time is changed

[Sebastian Sickelmann]

Hi,

while looking through some bugs in JBS I found this[1] one.

It seems to be that it is already solved. I tried the submitted example
with jdk6,7,8 and
it seems that it works since jdk7.

So maybe the bug can be closed, like the one it relates to
        JDK-5056544 javax.swing.timer stops after changing actual system
time

I created a headless swing based jtreg-test for JDK-4290274 but actually
it would run
only on linux(which can be changed) and must be started by a user that
can change the time.

Is it possible to integrate such a test in openjdk?
