jvmArgs comma separation breaks for certain JVM arguments

Given PIT 1.4.2 (and quite likely other versions as well) it is impossible to pass any JVM arguments that themselves have comma separation. Such an example is -XX:CompileCommand=command,method[,option] In our case it’s necessary to affect how JIT is performed and thus it doesn’t work.

Guess the only question is how it should behave if both parameters are supplied.

One option could be to just merge them all to a single list.

If you’ve got time to put a pull request together and think about it, that would be great.

I’ll do that. It is going to take a few days, but I am interested. 😃

Do I understand your idea correctly: Before we are passing the argument to joptsimple, we replace the commas with a special character within the escape sequence {} and after we get the values out of joptsimple we revert that and remove the escape markers? (I can give that a try)

That was the idea, but it was a stupid one as you are quite correct, we could just have a param without the .withValuesSeparatedBy call.
