Unfortunately, the test fails pretty regularly now. This behavior started when we moved to OpenJDK17. That makes sense since 'UseParallelOldGC' was valid prior to that.

I *have* temporarily disabled the Java tests [1]. As you said, to not hold back the package due to a possibly flaky test. But my concern is that this is actually an issue with how Bazel uses Java rather than a flaky test. Again, I'd be happy to be wrong about that. :)
