JRE 9.0.4

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Per Oracle Java documentation, the cancel method of the ScheduledFuture object returned by the schedule() method of the ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor class is supposed to interrupt running tasks when its mayInterruptIfRunning argument is true. It does not interrupt threads as expected.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
schedule a runnable to run, try to call cancel( true ) on the ScheduledFuture to interrupt it while it is in wait(), notice it does not get interrupted.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I'm about to start waiting.
isDone: false
cancellation successful: true
I've been interrupted
isDone: true

ACTUAL -
I'm about to start waiting.
isDone: true
cancellation successful: false
isDone: true
