FWIW. It reads to me that the launcher mode should not be set to
LM_CLASS
when parsing -cp option as it does not know the mode until all
options are
parsed. Then set to LM_CLASS if mode == LM_UNKNOWN (if not set).
But this requires closer inspection of the current implementation and
it's
something for the future.
This is somewhat fragile area of the launcher code. I don't think the
processing of --class-path should set the mode as the class path can
be used in conjunction with other options. The -jar and -m option will
select the mode of course but other cases should probably leave it as
LM_UNKNOWN until the final determination with IsSourceFile.
I file https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8211033 and we could
clean this up in the future.
