Was a specification (ccc) filed for these flags ? Will this be documented in the help section ? though X flags are unsupported, in the past we have documented them, both in the man pages as well as "java -X", if these will be left undocumented should we take the vm approach and mark it -XX ?

Yes, we should have ccc requests to cover any new flags and any platform-specific flags. If a flag is generally sensible, I'd prefer to see the flag supported across platforms. Yes I agree, a ccc needs to be filed asap, and IMO the awt team should be filing this, as they are aware of all the nuances of these flags.

I've filed 7131038 to address this.

Joe, do you think it absolutely needs an official -help output and a CCC approval in 7u4 time-frame, or could it wait till e.g. 7u6?

Thanks Kumar
