It there a way to display the complete command line in htop (e.g. in multiple lines or with a moving banner). With the default setting where only one line is displayed it isn't possible to distungish all processes, e.g. different java programs (because class or jar argument follows a bunch of arguments) or programs with long absolute path of binaries. Omitting the full absolute path in favour of only the binary would be a compromise where distinction would not be optimal, but better in some cases. I checked out the settings and the manpage and didn't find an option suitable in my understanding.
