Description
Running something like 'java' or 'java -Xcomp' results in the java command usage message and a process exit code of 0.

Using 'javac' or 'javac -J-Xcomp' does return a non-zero exit code. So the different launchers appear to behave differently.

If a process doesn't return 0 on success, and only on success, the makefiles and ant builds will have problems.
Comments
EVALUATION will be fix along with 6921472.
