Java command lines aren't necessarily enormous.  If they are, it is
because whoever invoked Java didn't know that it respects the CLASSPATH
environment variable, and that setting -classpath on the command line
f*s up the user's preferences (e.g. the user may want to replace a
particular set of classes with an alternative implementation).
