Somewhere there is a rule for how javac handles this.

I think it is fine to add some code to the generic parser to let subclasses treat '@' specially, if that is needed. I am less sure about adding java-specific file name parsing to the generic command-line parser code. That code is not supposed to be specific to java tooling (at least frysk uses it, fwiw). Tom
