The S11N.sh test uses /java to try to access old JDKs. When the test
is running at Russia, /java exists but is on the other side of the
globe, and a timeout happens.
This fix has created a jdk6-style class and use it to check for
compatibility. Not precise but enough for this test.

It's good to see the dependency on /java/re removed but I'm not sure
that I like the -Xbootclasspath/o:old because it is too tied into the
implementation.
Have you considered just put the serial versions of the older releases
into a byte array and have test use that? It would of course require
having a way to easily re-create the byte array (should be clear
instructions).
