[buildtest][vts] Test vm/jvmti/events/ObjectFree/ObjectFree0101/ObjectFree0101.xml should be redesigned
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HARMONY-4343
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-4343
             Project: Harmony
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build - test - ci
            Reporter: Vera Petrashkova


According to J2SE JVMTI specification of:
Object Free event
    An Object Free event is sent when the garbage collector frees an object. 
    Events are only sent for tagged objects (see heap functions). 


VTS test vm/jvmti/events/ObjectFree/ObjectFree0101/ObjectFree0101.xml 
(see source code) starts 100 threads
and expects at least one of them to be  garbage collected.
---------ObjectFree0101.java--------
public class ObjectFree0101 {
    static public void main(String args[]) {
        for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
            new Thread("special_thread") {
                public void run() {
                    byte[] bbb = new byte[1024];
                    bbb = null;
                }
            }.start();
        }
        return;
    }
}
---------------

But specification does not guarantee the GC will happen at all.
As the result this test fails on Harmony.
It should be redesigned.
