7u9 jnlp very touchy with vm args

[Jeff Palmer]

I have isolated my problem, & I think the reason might help explain some other messages on the other list.  I have reviewed the allowable vm args in JNLPs as published:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/javaws/developersguide/syntax.html#resources

I was not fully compliant, as I was referencing the argument,  -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC.  

This is a working JNLP snippet from the previous release (7u8 I think):
  <resources>
      <j2se 
          version="1.7+"
          java-vm-args="-Xmx200m XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC"
      />
      <jar href="my-app.jar"  />
  </resources>

  <resources os="Mac">
      <j2se 
          version="1.6+"
          java-vm-args="-Xmx200m XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true"
      />
  </resources>

Take out the unsupported argument in both places, and it now works.  7u9 does tolerate the GC arg on Windows still.

This is clearly not a bug.  I think a little better could be done on providing feed though.  The program just ENDS.  No warning, failure message, traces, nothing.  This makes it hard to find.

This one took a day.  I was concerned my Lion partition had a bunch of ea stuff which I had tinkered with & was not stock enough anyway,  so the time to blow it away & rebuilding it was still worth it.

Finally, after I re-installed, I just went to the Oracle site and installed the JRE.  In Safari, specifying a jnlp, downloads & starts it.  If you click on the desktop icon for subsequent runs you get message box from Software Update:
	"To open "BLAH,BLAH, BLAH" you need a Java SE 6 runtime.  Would you like to install one now?"

No, I do not need this.  This message did NOT come up because I have the 2 j2se tags.  I tried when there was only 1.  

If I actually followed through and did that, it would not even use it.  (guess I have to though, starting though cache viewer is a pain).  The test is wrong.  It should be testing for the Oracle plugin installed.
