First, ensure a garbage collection is done, then see if it is reduced, at all.
Other than this, java will only return memory to the system if a certain percentage of the heap space is "free", there are command line parameters to use increase/decrease these ratios, but I suggest caution. Simply figure with your java process using the max heap amount of memory (plus some more, since permgen is not included in max heap and java does need some system memory).
