[TESTBUG] Some Introspector tests fail with a Java heap bigger than 4GB

      Description

        The three Introspector test:

        java/beans/Introspector/7064279/Test7064279.java
        java/beans/Introspector/Test7172865.java
        java/beans/Introspector/Test7195106.java

        provoke an OutOfMemory situation by repeatedly allocating constantly growing arrays with the following loop:

        int[] array = new int[1024];
          while (true) {
          array = new int[array.length << 1];
        }

        However if we're running on a machine with plenty of RAM the default Java heap will be bigger than ~4GB and we will get a NegativeArraySizeException instead of an OutOfMemoryError because the array length which is a signed int will wrap around and become negative.

        The fix is easy - just specify a concrete -Xmx value for the test.
