This is wrong. JAVA_MAXHEAP_ARGUMENT is designed to provide the name of 
the argument to the JVM for specifying the max heap. It is not designed 
to also include the amount of memory for the max heap.
Greg's suggestion of "JAVA_MAXHEAP_ARGUMENT = " is golden. Honestly, the 
assumptions that made JAVA_MAXHEAP_ARGUMENT useful are no longer valid.
