      In previous releases, on platforms that supported more than one VM, the launcher could use ergonomics to select the Server VM over the Client VM. Ergonomics would identify a "server-class" machine based on the number of CPUs and the amount of memory. With modern hardware platforms most machines are identified as server-class, and so now, only the Server VM is provided on most platforms. Consequently the ergonomic selection is redundant and has been removed. Users are advised to use the appropriate launcher VM selection flag on those systems where multiple VMs still exist.
