Description

If not explicitly defined, the vm option -server has been
automatically set since Java 5. The bar for it picking -server over
-client is pretty low by modern standards; 2 CPU and 2GB RAM.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/vm/server-class.html

The Oracle ARMv7 HFP does not support -server. So when running on a
Raspberry Pi, one must either set JAVA_OPTS or regex replace the
relevant lines in launch scripts.

So, it makes sense to remove -server by default.
