Description

-Djvmflags works fine when run RunTest or with RunSuite and derbyall, but with derbylang, derbtools and other subsuites it fails as follows, because it prepends ^ inappropriately to the options when launching the process.

java -Dverbose=true -Djvmflags="-Xgcpolicy:optthruput^-Xjit:count=0"
org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.harness.RunSuite derbylang

With the second command I see the following in derbylang.sum
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
^{-Xgcpolicy:optthruput}-Xjit:count=0
> Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
^{-Xgcpolicy:optthruput}-Xjit:count=0
> Could not find the main class: ^{-Xgcpolicy:optthruput}-Xjit:count=0.
Program will exit.
Test Failed.
