What is the idea behind "-XD..."?
VM has 2 types of properties today: visible to Java user with System.getProperties() and invisible (or hidden) ones. The hidden properties are used to pass options to VM components: JIT, VM, GC parameters and can be passed by user only with command line and could not be changed in runtime. To pass the property that will not be added to the public System.getProperties list you should use -XD option. See any of EM configuration files and you will see that all configuration properties use -XD format now. -- Mikhail Fursov
