> These failures in `StoreReproducibilityTest` have been observed in higher 
> tiers where the test tasks are launched with various JVM options, one of them 
> being `-Xcomp`. The goal of the `StoreReproducibilityTest` is to verify that 
> the content which the `java.util.Properties` code generates for a properties 
> file and reproducible across multiple different runs/launches of an Java 
> application. To do that it launches a test application (using `java` command) 
> several times within the test (for different scenarios). That comes up to a 
> combined total of 25 launches, for different scenarios. Normally each such 
> launch of the `java` application completes within a second or two. 
> 
> Recently, we have been updating our tests to pass along the JVM options that 
> were used for launching the test task, to the child processes that are 
> launched from within the tests. That now means that these trivial small java 
> application that this test launches several times will now be passed the 
> `-Xcomp` option too (when the test task is launched with that option). It has 
> been observed that when `-Xcomp` is used to launch those trivial applications 
> from within the test, each such application takes around 30 seconds to a 
> minute to complete. This then causes the test to timeout.
> 
> Given the context of this test case, it's not necessary to run this test when 
> `-Xcomp` is used. The commit in this PR add a `@requires` to disable this 
> test when `-Xcomp` is present in the test task's JVM args. 
> 
> I've run this change in our CI and the test continues to run (and pass) when 
> `-Xcomp` is absent and is skipped when it is present.
