How to detect that a VM was started with --enable-preview ?

[forax at univ-mlv.fr]

Ah, sorry,
i mean detecting if the VM was started with --enable-preview when you are running a code on that VM.

Basically, i want to programmatically know if i can generate and load a class with the minor version equals to 65535 on that VM or not ?

cheers,
Rémi
