Hi, See the JIRA issue or my recent review request of JDK-7153107 for a discussion about the cause of this timeout.
In this change I am changing the ShellScaffold to take the jtreg timeoutfactor into account. This allow more time for these tests on slower platforms. The timeoutfactor is a floating point number, but I could not find a way to do floating point calculations in bash without adding more dependencies. Instead I opted to truncate the resulting value into an integer. At most, this decreases the timeout by almost a second and should not matter. webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sla/8151887/webrev.00/test/com/sun/jdi/ShellScaffold.sh.sdiff.html bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8151887 Thanks, /Staffan
