Mikhail, BTW, what would you say if all JIT-specific properties were kept separately? E.g. if there were JAVA, VM, JIT types of properties storage, would it be of some convenience to JIT side? Just curious :)
I think it would be convenient if we can assign them from the command line. Right now we have -Dvm. -Xem. -Djit. -Dgc. set of properties. You propose to emphasize them with -X prefix, so we have -XDvm. -XDem. and -XDgc. as the result. Your approach is better because the namespaces are separated. It's safer and we remove potential problems when a property with the same name appears in user's code. The old approach is better because it's do the same using less entities. -- Mikhail Fursov
