Can I pick your brains about a memory issue?
My java app, which isn’t huge (like 14000 LOC) is using about 300MB of memory. It’s running on Tomcat with a MySQL database. I’m using Hibernate, Spring and Velocity.
It doesn’t seem to have any leaks, cause it stabilizes and 300MB, without growing further. (Also, I done some profiling.) There’s been some concern from my team, however, about the amount of space it’s using. Does this seem high. Do you have any suggestions for ways to shrink it?
Any thoughts are appreciated.

The number of LOC is not an indicator of how much heap a Java app is going to use; there is no correlation from one to the other.
300MB is not particularly large for a server application that is caching data, but it is somewhat large for an application that is not holding any type of cached or session data (but since this includes the webserver itself, 300MB is generally reasonable).
