Summary: Separate Memory Preferences, Better Out of Memory Errors

Initial Comment:
We should separate out the maximum (-Xmx) and initial (-Xms) memory sizes from the "JVM Args for Main JVM" and "JVM Args for Interactions JVM".

This involves making sure that the "JVM Args for Main JVM" and "JVM Args for Interactions JVM" do not contain -Xmx and -Xms arguments, and that the maximum amount is not less than the initial amount.

Then we can respond better to exceptions like
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError and com.sun.jdi.VMOutOfMemoryException and directly suggest increasing the amount of heap space.
