 Java arguments MUST be given before the argument `-jar core.jar`. All arguments given after are pushed to GroIMP and not to the JVM.

 A non exhaustive list of common Java arguments used with GroIMP:
-  - ''--project-tree'' this argument is used when GroIMP is run in Eclipse, it tells GroIMP to load classes under the local /PLUGIN/target/classes/ repositories where PLUGIN is the name of each directories at the root of GroIMP. This path is different when GroIMP is run after packaging. By default GroIMP load classes in ./plugins/PLUGIN/PLUGIN.jar where PLUGIN is the name of each plugins.
