JEP 245: Validate JVM Command-Line Flag Arguments

[kedar mhaswade]

+1. Will this also make the 'java command line' a public interface of the
Java platform?

Martijn -- in your case, would the
​examination of the output of the ​
flag -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal
have helped? But then that flag makes the JVM startup print values of the
JVM options as represented by the internals, not how one specified on the
command line. (e.g.     uintx GCTimeLimit                               =
98              {product} ).
