I'm not aware of any mechanism in JConsole to send the output anywhere, other 
than via the clipboard.

The top virtual number is just what's in the memory map for the process, so 
that includes files, code, non-Java stuff, etc., as well as the JVM heap.  The 
resident memory number is the pages that happen to be in RAM at the moment.

This is just the combined virtual size of the new and old generations; it does 
not include PermGen.

> Maximum heap size:
> 65.088 kbytes

How big the new + old can get, if needed.

> Committed memory:
> 1.984 kbytes

Includes the JIT's code pool, C heap, Java heap, PermGen, and various other 
bits and pieces the JVM knows about.

> Committed virtual memory:
> 270.980 kbytes
> Total physical memory:
>   516.920 kbytes
> Free physical memory:
>     6.852 kbytes
> Total swap space:
> 1.297.564 kbytes
> Free swap space:
> 1.234.376 kbytes

All of the above are for the entire system, not just this one process.

> Snapshot 2
> Current heap size:
>  1.828 kbytes

The heap has expanded a bit.

> Maximum heap size:
> 65.088 kbytes

This can't change.

> Committed memory:
> 2.452 kbytes

Increased due to heap expansion plus probable enlarging of the code pool, C 
heap, PermGen, etc.

Nothing unexpected here.
