Thank you for the information. It is useful, and it is certainly worth
documenting somewhere (I didn't even know myself about the -J option).

Note that it works only with the cached version of the Java Web Start
OmegaT. If one launches the .jnlp link rather than the locally created
shortcut, there is still no possibility to specify command line arguments.
If one users the cached version, I have noticed that the automatic updates
tend to not be very reliable.

to clear the cache manually, which means re-adding each time the
command-line arguments to the shortcut.
