Hi Yes, this is a bug in the Main.parseCommandLine method: This iterates the command line and creates a map where the parameters are the keys and the parameter values are the values. This folds all -D parameters into a single key-value pair just sticking with the last. This is obviously wrong and must be fixed.
This should really keep all potentially duplicate arguments instead of just overwriting them — or even better maybe merge the parseCommandLine and convertCommandLineArg methods thus only iterating over the command line once instead of twice.
