There are many ways to find out how much memory an application uses - though
you can't generally get a single, simple, number for something like Tomcat
as it runs multiple threads which may be sharing memory.

would be a good start.

If you actually want to know how much of the memory it's using is actually
swapped out, I think that might be impossible.
