Hi,

Geoserver works OK for me with jre 8 but in the beginning of startup this 
message is printed to the console:

JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_40
Please wait while loading GeoServer...
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=128m; support
was removed in 8.0

I read from http://www.infoq.com/news/2013/03/java-8-permgen-metaspace that 
instead of MaxPermSize Java 8 has a MaxMetaspaceSize but also that Java 8 can 
also increase the new MetaspaceSize automatically if needed and it is not 
necessary to set it at all.

I know that the MaxPermSize warning is just a warning but it I however would 
like to get rid of it with Java 8, would it be better to

a)      remove "set JAVA_OPTS=-XX:MaxPermSize=128m" from the Geoserver startup 
file or

b)      edit it into "set JAVA_OPTS=-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=128m" ?
