I should have been clearer. We're in the process of cleaning up the new 
options in JDK 9. This work will fix inconsistencies with custom 
launchers and embedded usages too and as part of this, the 
undocumented/internal system properties that Stephen showed you will go 
away. So what you have is okay to get you going but you will need to 
change this once these issues have been sorted out.
