I'm calling jlink through its ToolProvider and it does indeed work to
simply add a space just before --add-modules=, like this:
String[] options = new String[] {"--add-options", " --add-modules="
+String.join(",", addModules), ...};
The leading space makes following check of the --add-options param value in
TaskHelper.OptionsHelper not match and throw BadArgs:
if (param == null || param.isEmpty()

The logic here could probably be improved.
Thanks,
