Accordingly to jimage's help:

  list - Prints the names of all the entries in the jimage. When used with
             --verbose, list will also print entry size and offset attributes.

For options requiring a <pattern-list>, the value will be a comma separated list of elements each using one the following forms:
  <glob-pattern>
  glob:<glob-pattern>
  regex:<regex-pattern>
  @<filename> where filename is the name of a file containing patterns to be used, one pattern per line

1) glob patterns seem to be completely broken:

jimage list --include='*' path_to_image
jimage list --include='glob:*' path_to_image

produce output:

jimage: path_to_image

while I'd expect to see the same output as one produced with `jimage list`. Moreover I cannot find a pattern to see something useful in the output.

2) regex patterns require catch-all-expression at the beginning of an expression:

jimage list --include='regex:java/io.*' path_to_image

produces

jimage: path_to_image

while

jimage list --include='regex:.*java/io.*' path_to_image

results in a list of java.io classes, java.base module and path to the image.

3) if patterns file is empty no output is produced:

jimage list --include='@empty.txt' path_to_image

produces

jimage: path_to_image

I'd expect if no patterns are specified then the output should be the same as `jimage list` does.

4) --include option works with '=' only:

It's expected that --long-options supported syntax includes both form:
--include='patterns'
--include 'patterns'
but currently only the first one is supported. The second form produces error message depending on other arguments:

jimage list --include '@patterns.txt' -- path_to_image
Error: no value given for --include

jimage list --include '@patterns.txt' path_to_image
Error: no jimage provided

Everything was tested with JDK 9 b138 on linux-x64.
