Are you by any chance running on a dual processor machine? If you are, you might be running with -server (this is the new ergonomic change in Tiger), and with a larger default heap size. The best way to check this is to run
java -showversion myClass
A new feature in Java5 was to determine if the machine was better off using -server instead of -client (>2cpu, >2gb of memory). If that was true then -server is used and certain GC tuning parameters are specified. If the VM detects you are on a "Server Class" machine, than by default 1/4 of your memory is used as maximum heap up to a maximum of 1gb. So its possible that's what you are hitting.

You are right, this may be the problem.

Is there a way to change the default behavior or do I always set -server/-client manually to make shure my favorite java vm gets started?

You can continue to use the server VM if you wish, but just remember to specify minimum and maximum heap sizes with -Xms and -Xmx.
