Cant you put java apps on the leash with Xmax and Xmin memory ? I might be wrong, but I thought that was the case.

Yes, but within that leashes it will prefer not releasing back what it has. E.g. if you say minimum 256, maximum 1G, if you used 1G for a short time it tends to hold onto it. This is a performance optimization iirc - it is far cheaper to wait a bit if you need that memory again than releasing it to the OS and then requesting it back again.
