Is this correct? My JVM memory use expands and contracts all the time during a Tomcat run. The JVM will get bigger until it hits the memory limits set up at start time, then it will GC and get smaller, according to the OS anyway.
This is on Solaris but I can't imagine that they would make the JVM such a memory pig on other OS's. Early versions maybe, but not now.
