	Get Maximum Memory Available to Java Virtual Machine(JVM) Example
	This Java example shows how to get maximum amount memory
	Java Virtual Machine will attempt to use using maxMemory()
	method of Runtime class.

		 * To determine amount of maximum memory Java Virtual
		 * Machine (JVM) will attempt to use, use
		 * 
		 * long maxMemory()
		 * method of Runtime class.
		 * 
		 * If there is no limit inherited, value of Long.MAX_VALUE
		 * will be returned.

Typical output would be
