--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
On Windows 10 Pro with current TB master

Tools -> Options -> Advanced: Java Options -> Parameters button

With the Java Start Parameters dialog OPs comments as to inability to
dynamically edit a full set of start parameters are valid.

However see no compelling reason to change the provided GUI editor for what are
largely static settings--tuned one parameter at a time. The UI is functional to
task, which is setting and tuning per user JVM parameters to profile.

Also, when set, the Java start Parameters are recorded into user/config
javasettings xml in the stanzas:

<vmParameters xsi:nil="false">
<param>/param>
</vmParameters>

They can be more directly edited there with a text or xml editor. 

The Benjamin user is unlikely to ever make changes to their JRE settings, and
the Eve user would find the existing dialog(s) consistent with other
configuration dialogs (those that have not been moved to expert configuration).

Devs and the uncommon user with specialized Java requirements can edit their
configuration directly.

So again no compelling reason to change GUI for the provided Java Start
Parameter dialog(s).

The local help / online help articles are accurate with exception that the
"Assign" button was renamed "Add"

Believe the "double backslashes" showing in the example in the dialog is an
error in the dialogs .ui configuration file:

http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/cui/uiconfig/ui/javastartparametersdialog.ui#159

will need to correct that.
