how do I add jvm-opts via the clj command?

Trying to get https://github.com/clojure-goes-fast/clj-async-profiler working

clj -Djdk.attach.allowAttachSelf does not work

right, I figured it out - clj -J-Djdk.attach.allowAttachSelf

but to add it to my deps.edn file I can't just insert :jvm-opts ["-Djdk.attach.allowAttachSelf"] at the top level?

No, that’s an outstanding issue. You will need to put it in an alias and use the alias
