Hi Jaroslav,
Is this just to accommodate the test library? I found no other
references in java.base.
If so, then perhaps it can be placed in another package that the tests
routinely need access to.
Does this fit the scope of the WhiteBox?
The original mail states: "it was pointed out that this functionality should be
available in java.base without going through JMX. " But I question that statement -
why should it be available without going through JMX? This kind of system introspection
is a management/monitoring function and so rightly belongs in JMX in my opinion.

The concerning dependency I’m aware is an internal feature that I think it
should look into an alternative to eliminate such dependency.
I can introduce a new native method in the affected class that would
call the refactored JVM method to get the VM input arguments. Not very
nice but it would work.
