I checked on a porterbox and there one of the tests* finished normally after 3-4 hours with java using 100% cpu. My plan is to disable long tests on mipsel and mips64el. Most of the tests give the same results on the different architectures and avoiding to spend at least 10 hours of buildd time on mipsel and mips64el just for the long tests is also a good thing.

I just saw that not all of the tests that are timing out are declared as long. I could need some help debugging this.
Maybe unrelated, I also noticed that libjmol-java depends on icedtea-netx-common, which is not built anymore in unstable by icedtea-web. So jmol needs to be rebuilt.
