Shadow Version

5.1.0

Gradle Version

5.6.2

Expected Behavior

Both the previously customized version of unixStartScript.txt (in version 4.0.3) and the current default version of the script provided by Gradle add the environment variable defined by optsEnvironmentVar to the command line.

Actual Behavior

The current version of the script no longer adds this environment variable to the command line used.

Gradle Build Script(s)

Here is the relevant line from the Gradle version of unixStartScript.txt (line 181):

eval set -- \$DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS \$JAVA_OPTS \$${optsEnvironmentVar} <% if ( appNameSystemProperty ) { %>"\"-D${appNameSystemProperty}=\$APP_BASE_NAME\"" <% } %>-classpath "\"\$CLASSPATH\"" ${mainClassName} "\$APP_ARGS"

Here is what is in the same file from the plugin: (line 165):

eval set -- "\$DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS" "\$JAVA_OPTS" "\$GRADLE_OPTS" <% if ( appNameSystemProperty ) { %>"\"-D${appNameSystemProperty}=\$APP_BASE_NAME\"" <% } %>-jar "\"\$CLASSPATH\"" "\$APP_ARGS"

Note that GRADLE_OPTS appears in the place of optsEnvironmentVar.

This breaks startup of applications that relied on the ability to define the now missing environment variable.
