Enabling "Hardened Runtime" from outside of XCode

This question is prompted by the new Notarization requirements that Apple will enforce for Mac Apps distributed outside of the Mac App Store targeting Mojave (in the near future.) I maintain a suite of self-hosted, Developer ID Application certificate-signed apps, using a custom runtime (Excelsior JET for Mac Java JIT Compiler / Runtime); custom bash scripts (are used as part of the apps in the installation process) and automate the builds. Therefore, there are no XCod` projects per-se involved in this process. After consulting the developer docs, I wasn't able to find a way to activate and customize this "hardened mode" (described here ) by using any kind utilities from XCode, but from the CLI (instead of the IDE GUI). Is there any way to accomplish this?
