JEP 293 [1] documents the guidelines on this. It documents that the long 
form can use space or `=` to separate the option name and value. It 
further documents that the HotSpot VM will only accept a subset of these 
rules, hence we have to use `=` as the separator when using the JNI 
innovation interface, VM options files, or _JAVA_OPTIONS. When only 
using the java launcher then you need to care too much about this 
because it will accept space as a separator.
