Java 9 - web start runtime options

Rde1-Oracle

No longer early access, but this still seems the appropriate place for this discussion ...

I see from examining a process with visual VM that Java 9 webstart applications are run with a non-default set of access permissions.  Specifically

--ilegal-access=deny

is included, whilst the default for the normal Java 9 runtime is

--illegal-access=permit

I don't have a problem with the different options for web start, but where is this documented?

Thanks for the link.  I was just wondering if this was part of the public documentation anywhere.
