Answer 1

The system-properties on some (?) JRE-implementations provide the system-property "sun.java.command" to get the programm-name and parameters that were used to start the program. Like "myjar.jar param1 param2 ...".

While this value doesn't even belong to the set of properties that are mentioned in the documentation, it is present in both Oracle-JRE v1.8 and OpenJRE v1.8 (tested).

I couldn't find any documentation whether this value is supported by default though (best I could find was the list in the System#getProperties() docs). Any clarification on this would be welcome. Handle with care!!!
