I don't think we can: we need to configure with jtreg to build test bundles. This happens during normal build. The choice we are making here is between "On network failure, retry within N minutes and then fail the workflow if nothing recovered" and "Fail the whole workflow on first network failure and force users to restart testing -- later, when they discover their workflow did not complete". I think it is a better UX to retry a few times before failing. Maybe 10 minutes is too long, and we should be doing only a few minutes of retries before failing. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/21758#issuecomment-2444409364
