      The security guide contains this advice around use of the security debug property:

      ==
      To see a list of all debugging options, use the help setting:
      java -Djava.security.debug=help
      ==

      That option doesn't seem to work since JDK 10. Instead we get the standard java usage help message...

      $ ~/jdk/jdk-10/bin/java -Djava.security.debug=help
      Usage: java [options] <mainclass> [args...]

         or java [options] -m <module>[/<mainclass>] [args...]
