Hi, Another update for argument file support, this version we added a couple measures to ensure compatibility,
1) Compile time directive ENABLE_ARG_FILES is needed to enable the feature, only java is enabled with this webrev. 2) Escape @argument if so desired: Additional prefixes of @ to a @ prefixed option will act as an escape, ie. the first @ will be removed and the rest of the arguments presented to the launcher literally. For example: java @ foo gets arguments of @ foo java @filename, filename expanded java @@filename will have the leading @ removed and reduced to literal @filename similarly, java @@@filenamewill have the leading @ removed and reduced to literal @@filename 3) The option '-Xdisable-@files' can be used on the command line anywhere to prevent further @filename expansion. 4) Limit the file size must not exceed MAXINT (2, 147, 483, 647) bytes. Webrev at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~henryjen/jdk9/8027634/v4/webrev/ Cheers, Henry
