You should use SEDCMD in your props.conf

This is not tested, but should work (Try it in your Dev environment before applying in production)

[YourSourceType]
SEDCMD-strip-msg = s/Success\.\n\sExiting\n\sOpened\sat\s\/java.+\n\sOpened\sat.+//g

Don't forget to restart the Splunk service after making these changes to props.conf
