I remember that we have some related issues, which caused by the ignoring
options in the plist.
But as far as I understand we do not have some generic bug/rfe to check the
possibility of
different layout.

Is there a bug report for that? :-)

The root problem is that the Info.plist for an executable is baked into the
executable, and because all Java programs run from the command line use the
same executable, they get the same Info.plist (as well as the same
linked-against SDK version number).
Any other issues that involve Info.plist parameters or the SDK version are also
impacted by this problem. I call this problem the launcher problem, because it
affects all programs (not just Java programs) that are launched by a common
executable.
I did not check, but as far as I understand it will start to work if we
"reimplement"
the JDK layout to be like an app layout on top of the "java" command-line app,
something like jdk.app which will have own plist.info and java as a default
launcher.
