[jira] Created: (HARMONY-4069) [drlvm][init] 'java -help', 'java -X' output is very poor

[drlvm][init] 'java -help', 'java -X' output is very poor
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HARMONY-4069
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-4069
             Project: Harmony
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: DRLVM
            Reporter: Elena Sayapina


'java -help', 'java -X' output is very poor in comparison with RI.

Help options give very little information and it make worse Harmony usability.

It looks like existing print_generic_help() and print_help_on_nonstandard_options() from vmcore/src/init/parse_arguments.cpp are not used.

'java -help' output on Harmony-r544727:

Harmony Java launcher
Apache Harmony Launcher : (c) Copyright 1991, 2006 The Apache Software Foundation or its licensors,
as applicable.
java [-vm:vmdll -vmdir:dir -D... [-X...]] [args]


'java -X' output on Harmony-r544727:

Harmony Java launcher
Apache Harmony Launcher : (c) Copyright 1991, 2006 The Apache Software Foundation or its licensors,
as applicable.
java [-vm:vmdll -vmdir:dir -D... [-X...]] [args]


Similar issue HARMONY-3876 was closed recently, 
but it looks like it was partially fixed: only returning value was corrected.

Please, see also HARMONY-3409 concerning 'java -XX' .

[jira] Commented: (HARMONY-4069) [drlvm][init] 'java -help', 'java -X' output is very poor

Eugene S. Ostrovsky commented on HARMONY-4069:
----------------------------------------------

It seems that patch for HARMONY-3876 committed in r542499 is incorrect.
It makes launcher to check for -help and -X options, print short usage message and exit without creating VM. Thus VM is unable to print it's detailed information for these options.
