JavacTool will not take compiler options with .java file but are allowed with arg file.

Please see the following test case:
<code>
import java.io.*;
import javax.tools.*;
public class Test5 {
    public static final String sourceFile1 = "-Xlint /home/sa151881/javatrails/SWarnings/unchecked/Test16.java";
    public static final String sourceFile2 = "-Xlint:unchecked /home/sa151881/javatrails/SWarnings/unchecked/Test16.java";
    public static final String sourceFile3 = "@/home/sa151881/javatrails/SWarnings/unchecked/filelist";
    
    public static void test(String... args) {
        try{
            JavacTool javac = com.sun.tools.javac.Tool.create();
            DiagnosticListener dl = new DiagnosticListener() {
                public void problemFound(DiagnosticMessage message) {
                    System.out.println(new File(message.getSourceName().toString()).getName()+":"+
                            message.getStartPosition()+":"+message.getStartPosition()
                            +":"+message.getPosition());
                    System.out.println(message.toString());
                    System.out.flush();
                }
            };
            PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new OutputStream(){
                public void write(int b) {}
            });
            javac.run((InputLocator)null, null, dl, writer, args);
        }catch(Exception ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    public static void main(String... arg){
        try{
            Test5 test = new Test5();
            System.err.println("With '-Xlint'");
            test.test(Test5.sourceFile1);
            System.err.println("With '-Xlint:unchecked'");
            test.test(Test5.sourceFile2);
            System.err.println("With arg file");
            test.test(Test5.sourceFile3);
        }catch(Exception ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Test16.java, Test1.java and filelist are attached.

</output>

With -Xlint option the output is
__input:-1:-1:-1
error: cannot read: -Xlint .......\Test16.java
and with -Xlint:unchecked no output. When the same files are given in arg file then JavacTool will workfine and enables unchecked warnings also as expected.
