[wtp-releng] JUnit suite maximum time is being dialed back to 1 hour

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Lately, many of our junit runs have been
hitting the overall time limit of 8 hours! 
I'm glad everyone is adding lots of
junit tests :) but one of the reasons for such long times is that there
are (still) fairly frequent hangs and deadlocks of various sorts. 
We have been running with a suite-level
timeout of 1.5 hours for the past several months. The problem is that if
then 3 or 4 individual suites hang or deadlock, we are already up to 5
or 6 hours just "hanging" around. 
This is especially bad when a suite
that normally takes 5 or 10 minutes, suddenly consumes 90 minutes. 

So, as an immediate remedy, I'll try
setting suite timeout back to 1 hour. I think those suites that were really
taking close to an hour to complete have been broken up or fixed to run
faster. 

Longer term, we may set the limit at
15 minutes or something shorter, and then you each can manage your own
time limits if you need more. 

If anyone knows they need more than
an hour routinely, let me know and I'll show you how to adjust your own
timeout. 

Thanks,
