Another way to avoid this issue is to do the following:
asadmin create-jvm-options -- -XX\:+LogVMOutput
Note the extra "--" after the subcommand name which causes the parser to
stop interpreting the arguments as options.
The fix for issue 16037 was checked into the GlassFish trunk after 3.1
was completed, so the fix isn't in any shipping release yet. It is in
the nightly build of the trunk.
