FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.6.0_12

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Saw it on windows XP. SP2
.. but probably happens on other OS too.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I am trying to pass in JVM args, specifically -javaagent and -Xbootclasspath/a to my javaws command line arg.

My command works in java version 1.6.0_6 but fails in 1.6.0_12, i.e the application even fails to launch with no error. the process is still there.

Since the same command worked in 1.6.0_6 and prior versions, it seems like a bug.

the command is simple:

javaws -J-javaagent:<jar file> -J-Xbootclasspath/a:<jar file>
