If you need more than one addition, do you use a colon separated list (Unix), semicolon (Windows), or repeat it once per option? Does it expand ~ or do you need to
None of this is that hard but if you don't use this all the time it's easy for everyone's soup of almost-but-not-quite similar conventions to blur together and you waste time figuring it out.
In the Java world you have the added problem that the JVM has a legacy convention which doesn't follow any platform standard and the problem that many projects use different conventions so you probably also have a different set of rules for JVM options and the actual program options.
