JDK 8 warning PermSize and MaxPermSize JVM arguments are ignored

When a Java 8 process is started, the following warnings are thrown:

The PermGen successor in Java 8 uses native memory for the representation of class metadata and is called: Metaspace

The consequences of the PermGen removal is the PermSize and MaxPermSize JVM arguments are ignored and a warning is issued if present at start-up.

By default the MetaSpace space limit is unbounded. Metaspace objects e.g. Class metadata waste are only collected during a Full GC event.

• Remove -XX:PermSize and -XX:MaxPermSize from JVM arguments (jvmargs) in OpenEdge *.properties configuration files
• Optionally, the maximum metaspace size can be set using the -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize flag to force the JVM into Full GC clean the Metadata/Reflection waste, preventing excessive consumption of physical/virtual memory. Restricting metaspace can result in java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Metadata
