Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)

Allow all Java applications to "suggest" to the JVM their own
max-heapsize. This way users wouldn't complain their Java apps use up too
much memory (because the default is too high for some, and too low for
others).

My basic idea is as follows.. If no -Xmx switch is specified externally,
the JVM will listen to internal max-heapsize requests, otherwise they
will be overriden by the external switch.

of classes, this info would presumably be attached to the main
class.
