Can you double check that it is actually using the JNI invocation 
interface directly? I don't think we were able to find anyone in Eclipse 
to explain what their launcher on macOS is doing. I suspect it may be 
directly (or indirectly) reading the CFBundleExecutable property from 
Info.plist and calling the JNI_CreateJavaVM function in libjli (not 
libjvm). We probably need more tests in this area and also a bit more 
archaeology to see whether this was a supported interface in Apple's JDK.
