JDK9 Modules

[Malachi de Ælfweald]

I think I must be misunderstanding your suggestion.

If I do:
export _JAVA_OPTIONS="--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM --add-exports=java.base/
sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED"

then:
java -version
reports:
Unrecognized option: --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

If I do:
export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djdk.launcher.addmods=ALL-SYSTEM
-Djdk.launcher.addexports.0=java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED"
then:
java -version
reports:
java version "9-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9-ea+123)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-ea+123, mixed mode)
