Description

Apparently java unit tests don't have timeouts. And as far as I can tell, Junit lets you set timeouts for individual tests and test classes, but provides no easy way to set a global timeout across multiple classes.

Imported from Jira BEAM-13523. Original Jira may contain additional context. Reported by: ibzib.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current Java test setup in the repository and explore JUnit's TestRule or Extensions to implement a global timeout. Look for existing test configurations and consider using a custom rule or a build plugin to set a default timeout for all test classes.
