Hi,

while working on an issue to clean up a code in java.base module using reflection to access RuntimeMXBean (from java.management module) in order to get hold of the VM arguments (yes, this won't work with module boundaries in place) it was pointed out that this functionality should be available in java.base without going through JMX.

For this, java.lang.Runtime seems to be the right place to add such functionality. A new public method 'List<String> getVMArguments()' would be added with the same functionality as is currently provided by j.l.m.RuntimeMXBean#getInputArguments().

While the change seems to be rather non-controversional I would rather discuss it before going further with the implementation and requesting code review.

Thanks,
