Subject: jtreg -vmoption(s) vs. -javaoption(s)
Message-ID: <5C0A4538-FB5F-476E-8E45-95A7331FC613@oracle.com>

I'm trying to understand what differences in usage there are for the -vmoption and -javaoption flags. From my reading of RegressionParameters.getTestVMJavaOptions() it would seem than in practice the two options are interchangeable. Is there some other distinction I am missing? The command line help includes a see also for each to the other but doesn't explain any difference.

Mike

Mike,

VM options you specify with -vmoption are used for all JVMs created by 
jtreg, for both javac and java commands.

In contrast, VM options you specify with -javaoption are only used for 
JVMs for java commands.
