Reduce memory consumption in development

When I'm developing my project I have 3+ jvm instances running.

With firefox open for a few days I get pretty close to maxing out my 8gb of ram. How can I reduce memory consumption?

while invoking the JVM, you could set the maximum size to be used

e.g -Xmx1024m -Xms1024m would use only 1GB of ram

Hope it helps regards
