A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JFR.configure accepts `repositorypath` as stated in the javadoc: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/man/jcmd.html

However, -XX:FlightRecorderOptions accepts only `repository` as demonstrated here:

java -XX:FlightRecorderOptions:repositorypath=jfr-logs -jar my.jar
[0.030s][error][arguments] Unknown argument 'repositorypath' in diagnostic command.
Error occurred during initialization of VM
