Closed as program error.
Error description
When creating client container process (i.e. "wlp/bin/client create myNewClient") while using Java 8 or higher, the creation process will generate a server.env in the client directory. This file is only intended for server processes - it is intended to prevent the server from using pre-Java 8 command line parameters. These parameters are not used in the client process, so there is no need for this file to exist in the client directory.
