There is no such thing as an exhaustive list, since any piece of code
might have some undocumented switches, logging level flags, etc.
The release notes will list major flags that a significant number of
users might be interested in.

All stable and supported settings are already modifiable there. -J-D
flags are reserved for prototype switches, experimental hacks, and other
things which might appear or disappear at whim. Some users may want to
try them, but no one is going to really document them or guarantee their
behavior.

[SK] : ok, how about documenting (!!) them somwehere on the devHome page,
with a disclaimer? the idea is to allow newbie hackers to easily knwo what's
hackable. no need to support this.

Read through the netbeans source ;o) and found the following system properties
retrieved from System.getProperty(), using a literal String (in quotes), and
that is related to netbeans, meaning no java.version, os.name and so on.
Less than I thought.
Meaning.... for you to find out.
