Dear Chris, I just realized that my understand is a little different with the "retrying" - if we already know what is newly added argument, we can assume old jvm can not accept it. So it seems print error message is enough. This is consistent with JDK16. But for older jvm, since there is no error message for unrecogized arguments, we need to fall back as you mentioned. So maybe we can also revert the argument parsing logic introduced in JDK16? But it is wierd to me that jmap dump command siliently accept all strings as arguments without any error message.
