Eclipse does consume some amount of memory, but hey even firefox frequently goes over the 100M mark. But Eclipse should not spiral out of control like you are saying. Besides the memory parameters given to the JVM do restrict memory usage. You should run into an exception rather then consuming all your memory resources. To know more about your memory issue it would be helpfull if you posted your eclipse.ini file here.
Did you install any other plug-ins with Eclipse (I assume you did)? Maybe one of those plug-ins is the reason why memory is consumed and not returned.
