Thanks Mikael for the comment!

Passing the command line options may become complicated when you need to 
pass the same common options to child processes across the system.
Using the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS variable was a workaround, which worked, but 
had its own drawback -- the message printed to the stderr, which has to 
be processed by each caller.

The -XX:Flags option still has to be passed to every newly created 
process somehow, so I don't see how it can help.

Sincerely yours,
Ivan
