JDK-8042888 - Remove extcheck tool
Description
The jigsaw/m2 forest is currently accumulating the changes for the move to a modular image. The modular image will replace the current JRE/JDK layout. The replacement for j2sdk-image will not not have a top-level "jre" directory. The replacement for both j2sdk-image and j2re-image will not contain rt.jar, tools.jar and other JAR files, instead the classes and resources will be stored in a new container format. 

com/sun/tools/extcheck/TestExtcheckArgs.java needs to be updated to remove its dependency on jconsole.jar that ships with the JDK. There will be no jconsole.jar or other JAR files in the modular image.
Comments
This test was removed as part of the removal of the extcheck tool.

I've added this test to the exclude list (ProblemList.txt) on the assumption that it will be removed when extcheck is removed.

It's possible that extcheck will be removed in JDK 9 (see JDK-8042888), in which case it might not be worth updating this test.
