Here is a description on how to get the current used memory:

The Garbage Collector you can trigger by calling:

System.gc()

see: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#gc%28%29 For a documentation

As far as I understand you wish to perform these operations on external process (retrieve the java process from the task manager).

I'd suggest you to check out JMX. This is the "normal" way to do it remotely. If JConsole does it you can implement it yourself too.

You have to use java.lang.management.GarbageCollectorMXBean
