> Could I have a review of PR that fixes incorrect error messages regarding of recording.
> 
> The current message is very confusing. If a user types jcmd <pid> JFR.start name=abc name=def or java --XX:StartFlightRecording=name=abc,name=def,  the error message says "Duplicates in diagnostic command arguments", but doesn't know what options are duplicated.
> Furthermore, if a user specifies two or three duplicate parameters, the same logs will be output.
> 
> It should say follows,
> Option name can only be specified once with starting flight recording
> Options name and disk can only be specified once with starting flight recording
> Options name, disk and maxage can only be specified once with starting flight recording
> This problem affects --XX:StartFlightRecording, jcmd JFR.start, JFR.stop, JFR.dump, JFR.check, and MBean.
> 
> For other than start, the output is as follows, (example of dump)
> Option name can only be specified once with dumping flight recording
> 
> Testing: jdk/jdk/jfr
> 
> Thanks
