> The `-Dsun.java.launcher.is_altjvm` option is only used in the gtest launcher and has no relationship with the similarly named `-XXaltjvm` option. The gtest launcher also sets the `-XX:+ExecutingUnitTests` option. This RFE involves removing the `-Dsun.java.launcher.is_altjvm` option, capturing the `-XX:+ExecutingUnitTests` option in Arguments::process_sun_java_launcher_properties() so that the os::jvm_path() can check if the option is set before using JAVA_HOME setting.
> 
> Passed tiers 1 - 3 testing.
