Hi, Without a full output of "free -h" we cannot say anything. But the total Linux memory use should always used by 100% on a good server otherwise it's useless (because full memory includes cache usage, too). I think, -Xmx may be too less for your Java deployment? We have no information about the size of your installation.
If "top" reports too much residential memory for the Java VM process then there might be something wrong, and then we would need "pmap <pid>" of the java process.
