Description

Java 7u40 on some platforms do not recognize the the -XX:+UseCondCardMark JVM option. 7u40 on Macintosh works correctly, If I use the tarball 7u40 version of 7, we encounter the error below. I tried 7u25 (the previous release) and it functioned correctly.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ Unrecognized VM option 'UseCondCardMark'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
