In javac, -bootclasspath and -Xbootclasspath are aliases, so they are 
exactly equivalent.

Note that there is a separate confusion for some users of javac:
     -J-Xbootclasspath  sets the bootclasspath for the JVM running javac
     -Xbootclasspath  sets the platform classes against which the users 
code will be compiled.
