Hi Enrico, Xmx is a hint to the vm for the java heap size not a rule, so if memory is being leaked the heap will grow to as much memory as the vm can get, if not gc'd in time the issue will remain.
You could try increase the -XX:PermSize=<value>. but you can check out the faq's at http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc1.4.2/faq.html it describes the various memory spaces, Eden, Tenure and Perm. If you on a dual core machine try enable parallel GC.
