[1.1.0] Windows 7 64: Java 8-31: crashes with insufficient memory after longer run (40 min here) --- fixed with Java 8-45

[RaiMan]

***************** workaround:

use Java 7 --- but should work with Java 8-45+ also

from comment #1
If Java dies on large and long running unittest test suites, division of the large suite into several smaller suites helps. The common start python script should create and execute them in sequence.

I have 4-hour sequence of about 50 Sikuli tests, driven by Python Unittest from command line, running well for last half of year.
Having got new Windows 7 64 bit machine, I copied there the whole Sikuli stuff, and then installed the last Java (8.31) from java.com . Now it's difficult to find old Java there...
Sikuli seemed to start working well, and IDE worked well with separate scripts, but, trying to run the whole sequence, Java crashed after five or six tests (40 min), with Windows crash message box, because of insufficient memory for it. Extending the memory limit in runsikulix.cmd had no effect at all.
The problem was finally solved with installation of older Java (7.67)
Java 8 seems to have some problems.

After registering ths issue, I found two things:
   - If Java dies on long unittest test suite, division of the large suite into several smaller suites helps. The common start python script should create and execute them consequently.
   - With new Java 8 versions, available at java.com now (e.g. 8.45), those crashes after 40 minutes are no longer reproduced.
