3751450 - AS Java 7.5 stuck in Starting Framework during update

An update is being done to the AS Java 7.5 through SUM and it fails to start. Looking at the system status it is stuck in the Starting Framework phase.

Taking a thread dump (see SAP Note 1095473), a similar entry as below can be seen in the dump:

"Service Runner [jmsconnector]"

And in the defaultTrace_XX.trc you can find a similar entry to this:
