<div>I don't get it. Either providing this
information (what "java program" is running -
main class and/or command line) is generally
useful or it is not. There's nothing
macosx-specific about it. Either provide a
clean blessed api (i.e. not an environment
variable) and have </div>

<div>The environment variable is particularly bad because it
is just a private communication mechanism, but one that is
even visible to subprocesses. A proper documented
supported public cross-platform API would be fine, and
that would include a system property.</div>

It relates to the comment I have below, look at:<br>
<a href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/file/84c5527f742b/src/java.base/share/native/libjli/java.c#l1412" target="_blank">http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/file/84c5527f742b/src/java.base/share/native/libjli/java.c#l1412</a></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm confused. Comments in java.c suggest that sun.java.command is not exposed to java land, but my test program clearly tells me it's there! (with jdk9-b57)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
