Description

Customers who wish to monitor the JVMs in Zowe, say with OMEGAMON for JVM cannot easily add Java Arguments to the Java configuration.

Describe the experience you'd like
Currently only the Message Service JVM has a javaArgs yaml field. We'd like all the Java process to have that option.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually altering the template arguments, but they may get overwritten by maintenance.

Research direction

Start by tracing how Java process configuration is defined and how the Message Service currently receives its javaArgs YAML field. Extend the same configuration path to the other Zowe Java processes, then verify that each process accepts and applies the setting without relying on manual template changes.
