Hi Mandy,
Yes, I can make that change. Thanks for pointing it out.

Harold - the revised VM change looks okay to me.
Minor one: you define the following:
202 #define MODULE_PATH_PROPERTY "-Djdk.module.path”
204 #define MODULE_UPGRADE_PATH_PROPERTY "-Djdk.module.upgrade.path"
It may be good to consider having #define for all module property names and
used consistently.

-modulepath, -addmods, -limitmods, -XaddExports, -XaddReads, -Xpatch are java
launcher options in the current implementation. Custom launchers will have to
use -D to set some system properties to configure module system. Different
ways to configure module system is confusing and not friendly for environments
using both java launcher and custom launchers.
This patch pushes the handling of the module options into the VM. That will
avoid the confusion between launcher and VM options and avoids needing to use
system properties. All launcher implementations can configure the module
system via JNI Invocation API setting these options in a unified way. The
options and syntax remain the same as specified in JEP 261.
For the non-repeating options, like the other VM options, the last one wins.
The current implementation communicates the options to the module system
through system properties, as a private interface, and these system properties
will be removed once they are read during the module system initialization.
These system properties are reserved as private interface and they will be
ignored if they are set via -D in the command line. Harold implements the
hotspot change and can explain further details.
This patch will impact existing tests and scripts that set the system properties for
example to break encapsulation in the command line e.g.
-Djdk.launcher.addexports.<N>. They will need to be updated to replace the use
of -D with the appropriate module option e.g. -XaddExports. Since they are new
options in JDK 9, use -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions if they need to be ignored by
earlier releases.
