In my application that runs on java 8, I am using -bootclasspath:p to add a jar to the boot classpath. In java 9, the option is removed. What is the alternative to do the same in java 9?

To check our CLASSPATH on Windows we can open a command prompt and type echo %CLASSPATH%. To check it on a Mac you need to open a terminal and type echo $CLASSPATH.
By using the Class-Path header in the manifest, you can avoid having to specify a long -classpath flag when invoking Java to run your application. Note: The Class-Path header points to classes or JAR files on the local network, not JAR files within the JAR file or classes accessible over Internet protocols.
You may use -Xbootclasspath/a. Please refer to the release notes which states:-
The boot class path has been mostly removed in this release. The java
-Xbootclasspathand-Xbootclasspath/poptions have been removed.The
javac -bootclaspathoption can only be used when compiling to JDK 8 or older. The system propertysun.boot.class.pathhas been removed.Deployments that rely on overriding platform classes for testing purposes with
-Xbootclasspath/pwill need to changed to use the--patch-moduleoption that is documented in JEP 261.The
-Xbootclasspath/aoption is unchanged.
