Hi, For JDK-8343839 it would be useful to have some form of API in order to be able to detect that a currently running Java process has been launched with '--patch-module'.
Alan Bateman suggested to expose a boolean JDK property to indicate a runtime that has been launched with --patch-module. In particular, the suggestion was to use 'jdk.patched' which would be set to true iff --patch-module is present when the java process launched. The added benefit would be to have this information available via serviceability tools as well. For example, -XshowSettings:properties would be able to show this new property. Thoughts? Concerns? Thanks, Severin
