 122 .PP
 123 You must explicitly add the JavaFX modules to launch the script as a
 124 JavaFX application.
 125 The following example specifies the location of the JavaFX modules and
 126 adds them with the \f[CB]\-\-module\-path\f[R] and
 127 \f[CB]\-\-add\-modules\f[R] options:

 134 .PP
 135 The following example uses the \f[CB]jlink\f[R] command to create a custom
 136 runtime image that contains the JavaFX modules.
 137 The example then launches a script as a JavaFX application without
 138 specifying the JavaFX modules in the \f[CB]jjs\f[R] command:

 177 Enables or disables optimistic type assumptions with deoptimizing
 178 recompilation.
 179 This makes the compiler try, for any program symbol whose type can\[aq]t
 180 be proven at compile time, to type it as narrowly and primitively as
 181 possible.
 182 If the runtime encounters an error because the symbol type is too
 183 narrow, then a wider method is generated until a steady stage is
 184 reached.
 185 While this produces as optimal Java bytecode as possible, erroneous type
 186 guesses will lead to longer warmup.
 187 Optimistic typing is currently enabled by default, but it can be
