-R<option> forward <option> to debuggee process if launched by jdb, otherwise ignored
options forwarded to debuggee process if launched by jdb (shorthand instead of using -R):
-v -verbose[:class|gc|jni]
turn on verbose mode
-D<name>=<value> set a system property
-classpath <directories separated by ":">
list directories in which to look for classes
-X<option> non-standard target VM option
<class> is the name of the class to begin debugging
<arguments> are the arguments passed to the main() method of <class>
