Hi Martin,
I take it you want me to integrate this after due diligence ?
Yes.
We are not in any hurry to integrate it,
and we understand that there may need to be work done on
this (like generalization/doc/test work) that Google might not
want to do (or cannot, in the case of the man pages),
so this change may reasonably remain unmerged.
For the time being, it is useful for us.

Please file an RFE.

I can take a look at it, as a submission, but I can't promise when I will
be able to look into getting it into openjdk as my priorities are focused
elsewhere at this time.
Thanks

Hi launcher team,
We have a local mod to openjdk's launcher here at Google
that we would be willing to send upstream.
We were hitting the 128kb command line arg limit
(that is, the Linux limit on the size of *one* argument,
not the entire command line) and made the simple expedient
of allowing the classpath to be specified via a file,
using the familiar
-cp @FILE
syntax.
It's hard to create a uniform support for @FILE
across all jdk commands, because the jar and javac
commands already do their own @FILE parsing.
So although -cp @FILE is a bit of a hack,
it is useful enough that it probably should be part of the jdk.
Remember that jdk engineers tend not to experience "jar hell"
themselves.
Martin
