Answer 1

You'd be better off with:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -server "
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms512m -Xmx512m"
export JAVA_OPTS

Answer 2

Wound up using something similar to Marc, but with escapes for spaces in property definitions

export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS \
-DFOO=\"bar bar\" \
-DBAZ=\"bar2 bar2\" "

Answer 3

Hmm, deleted the whole file and recreated it, and now it works..... Now using this style

export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS\
 -server\
 -Xms704m\
 -Xmx704m\
 -XX:OnOutOfMemoryError=/usr/share/scripts/on_server_crash.sh\
 -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError\
