javac cannot extract -J flags from the argfile because these flags need to be passed to the launcher, which is already running by the time the argfile comes into play. See https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/man/javac.html#command-line-argument-files for reference.

A canonical usage for this is passing
--add-opensflags to the launcher of javac to make sure annotation processors work.To pass these arguments to the launcher, they have to be perfixed with -J – but arguments like this cannot be passed through the argfile that we use for javacOptions (see https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/man/javac.html#command-line-argument-files) so we need to pass them to the command itself.
For that purpose, we add a
jvmOptionsfield to scip-java.json config – these options will have-Jadded to them and passed to thejavaccommand.The test to verify this behaviour relies on an old version of lombok that requires these options
Additionally, a hidden option
--strict-compilationis added to the CLI, to prevent error recovery: sometimes scip-java can just ignore javac errors and produce semanticdb artifacts regardless. This complicates testing, so I need an escape hatch).Test plan
