Getting command-line arguments indirectly

I am attempting to get the command-line arguments passed to a file indirectly. This is something that would be utilized by classes loaded through a class loader, so they do not have access to the main method of the program.

I know I can get the JVM arguments via:

RuntimeMXBean RuntimemxBean = ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean();
List<String> arguments = RuntimemxBean.getInputArguments();

However reading over the javadoc for RuntimeMXBean I cannot seem to figure out how to get the rest of the arguments.

I've also attempted to get the fun command-line execution via:

String arguments = System.getProperty("sun.java.command")

However that also does not work on every implementation of java. Is this even possible, and if so how?

Edit: For clarification, I do not have the ability to modify the original project loading the class files.

I'm not very experienced with this type of problem, but couldn't you create an instance field for the class you are loading and a field that stores the main program arguments, then just assign the instance field the value of the arguments?
