I don't understand the reason for setting the (local) variable JAVA_OPTS
in the *.conf.ps1 files when the common.ps1 functions completely ignores
the local setting and always reads and uses the environment variable value.

The in-file comments leads the reader to believe he can override the system
env var and define a new JAVA_OPTS in the conf file which will be used by the
calling script.  Currently this is not true.

Can someone explain the intent here?  Is this a bug or obsolete code that
should be removed?
