When do you get this error? Are you trying to do use the SQL SET command
for pljava.vmoptions in a session where PL/Java is already active?

There's no way you can get it from settings in the postgresql.conf file
since that file will allow multiple settings of the same custom variable
(if it didn't you'd get this error for pljava.classpath since you set
that twice).

Be adviced that numeric custom variables are broken at the moment. Thus,
you will not be able to set the pljava.statement_cache_size.
