Pretty much, but you're missing ancillary bits such as libraries, OS-created 
structures, statically linked code, dynamically generated code, stacks, and 
probably other things I'm leaving out.  Running a process in a modern OS is 
complicated.

Just because the virtual space is reserved doesn't mean it's actually being 
used in real memory.  I don't know which of the memory values you chose to 
display in Task Manager, but it's probably real memory usage, which is only 
that part of the process space that the OS happens to have loaded at that 
instant.  Nearly all components of memory usage change over time, both in 
virtual space and real, and there is no definitive relationship between the 
two.  In other words, the Task Manager number is not terribly useful for tuning 
a Java execution, but it does provide some information when you're looking at 
the system as a whole.
