Error description
If there are two or more -XDump options set where -Xdump:system:events is the same for these options, then only the 2nd option is propagated to *.jvm.options file. Ex. if you have the following specified in genericJVMArguments using admin console: -Xdump:blahblah -Xdump:system:events=throw,filter=jack -Xdump:system:events=throw,filter=jill What ends up in the *.jvm.options file is: -Xdump:blahblah -Xdump:system:events=throw,filter=jill The 2nd setting is overwritten by the 3rd because the code considers this setting a duplicate.
