EVALUATION Suppress the message about obsolete options when unrecognized options are being ignored; use warning() to display the message; avoid the use of "EOL'd"; omit the flag character (+/-) when printing boolean option names. Sample output: Before: Warning: The flag +HandlePromotionFailure has been EOL'd as of 6.0_24 and will be ignored After: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: ignoring option HandlePromotionFailure; support was removed in 6.0_24
