JDK-6663089 - Issues with system property and JVM command-line argument specification to applets via JNLP
Description
Following plugin properties are missing from the new Plug-in:
javaplugin.maxHeapSize
javaplugin.proxy.config.bypass
javaplugin.proxy.config.list
javaplugin.proxy.config.type
javaplugin.vm.options

Though it's not effecting the applet behavior but could be termed as regression if any application is  using it. Out of these javaplugin.vm.options seems to be pretty important and should be implemented at least.
Comments
EVALUATION javaplugin.vm.options was added as part of the fix for 6663089. javaplugin.maxHeapSize is an ill-defined property especially when the default heap size is used, which is the case most of the time with the new plug-in. The handling of proxies has changed in the new Java Plug-In and we don't use the DynamicProxyManager any more, which is why the proxy-related properties aren't present. Because javaplugin.vm.options was the main requested property, this is being closed as a duplicate of 6663089. We will not add the other system property settings.
