Huh? -Xbootclasspath and -bootclasspth are both JVM and javac options.

I stand half corrected. The java launcher only accepts -Xbootclasspath while the javac launcher will accept both (though I believe they have different meanings).

However in this case we were not invoking the javac launcher but the java launcher with the javac jar file. In that context does "javac" still accept -Xbootclasspath, or is that only accepted by the javac launcher?

To restate what I said more precisely:

Note that we went from passing -Xbootclasspath to the java launcher, to passing -bootclasspath to the javac application.

Cheers,
