Currently it does for VM's package.env with the -g option.
See bug 214785 comment 5 why it's needed, although possible workaround using glj, it's not clean IMHO.

How do we want to format the result.

just return the result or have it as a key=value

$ ./java-config-2 -q GENERATION --package=ant-core
2

$ ./java-config-2 -q GENERATION --package=ant-core
GENERATION=2

I'd say this one, as converting what you get to the second one one is easier than the other way around.
