A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
To run SWT applications on OSX it is necessary to specify the -XstartOnFirstThread in java-vm-args (see https://www.eclipse.org/swt/macosx/). 

According to the jnlp-syntax (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/javaws/developersguide/syntax.html)  this argument is currently not marked as allowed and therefore the jvm is started without the argument and this results in a crash of the application with

!MESSAGE Application error
!STACK 1

So please mark -XstartOnFirstThread as allowed in java-vm-args (at least on OSX). 

Thanks

JUSTIFICATION :
According to: https://www.eclipse.org/swt/macosx/

The special VM option -XstartOnFirstThread is also required for SWT applications to run properly on the Mac.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
VM-argument -XstartOnFirstThread is passed through to the vm. 
ACTUAL -
-XstartOnFirstThread is fiotert because it is not marked as secure argument... 

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Don't use a mac...  :-(
