Why not just use "java -fullversion" instead?
$ java -fullversion
java full version "1.8.0_60-ea-b14"
$ JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Xmx512M" java -fullversion
java full version "1.8.0_60-ea-b14"
$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_60-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-ea-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b14, mixed mode)
$ JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Xmx512M" java -version
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx512M
java version "1.8.0_60-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-ea-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b14, mixed mode)
It's a lot less stuff to parse. Also, "java -fullversion" does not start the
VM, so should be faster.
