Thanks for clarifying Alan. I misunderstood the use case of
--dry-run to be
that it did not require any main class, but instead the point is to
*load*
but not *execute* the main class. Perhaps this would be worth
clarifying in
the option description?
The current usage for this option does include "create VM but do not
execute main method". I guess we could adjust this a bit to make it
explicit that the main class is loaded but the main method is not
executed.

...and in addition, that the main class is not even initialized - no
user code is executed, right? I think this excludes any java agents
and/or custom system class loaders and/or custom security managers
specified as command-line options. Perhaps this should be specified
explicitly.
