How do I set java_opts environment variables on mac?

Question

For windows in bat file for wildfly application I was setting as set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djboss.home=..../x/y/pathToApplication"

My requirement is to set the same in mac in shell script file. Tried several ways from google but couldn't get it work.

So I tried export JAVA_OPTS="-Djboss.home=/Users/.../Documents/...cloud/.../wildfly" - it worked

but when I set another variable export JAVA_OPTS="-Dmyapp.home=/Users/.../Documents/...cloud/.../myapp" - it overrides the first one

Next I tried export JAVA_OPTS="-Djboss.home=/Users/.../Documents/...cloud/.../wildfly" - it worked but has overridden the previous value.

So I tried export JAVA_OPTS="%JAVA_OPTS% -Djboss.home=/Users/.../Documents/../cloud/.../wildfly" export JAVA_OPTS="%JAVA_OPTS% -Dmyapp.home=/Users/.../Documents/cloud/dev/deployments/supervisor"

But then shell script fails and terminates.

Basically I am looking out for equivalent of -> set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djboss.home=..../x/y/pathToApplication" ( windows bat file ) — user7, Apr 04 '20 at 19:26
I asked for a [mcve] that demonstrates the problem with your attempt, not a repetition of code that works on a different platform that you already provided. — Quentin, Apr 04 '20 at 19:26

It worked.

In mac it will be of below format export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -XX:PermSize=32m"
