Using sed to insert a value into a line after match

I'm looking to get an argument inserted into a variable, sed currently pouting at me.

Turning this:

BASHVAR=" -Java.args -More.Java.Args -Even.More Java Args"

To this:

BASHVAR=" -Newly.added.Java.args -Java.args -More.Java.Args -Even.More Java Args"

I've tried matching and appending, but it adds newlines:

sed '/-Java.args/i -Newly.added.Java.args' /path-to-file

Resulting in:

-Newly.added.Java.args
BASHVAR=" -Java.args -More.Java.Args -Even.More Java Args"

Doesn't have to be sed, but would be nice use it.

Cheers

Use substitution instead of insertion

s/-Java.args/-Newly.added.Java.args &/
