I'd like to get the following information (particularly the current usage) programmatically so I can display it in a "health status" page in the application (and yes, I know it changes frequently). The code runs inside JBoss 5.1.
$ jmap -heap 25837

I checked the JMX console in the hope there is an MBean with this info, but javax.management.j2ee.statistics.Stats is very thin on information:
org.jboss.management.j2ee.statistics.JVMStatsImpl [ {UpTime=[ 1097449:UpTime(description: Time the VM has been running, units: MILLISECOND, startTime: 1296748847668, lastSampleTime: 1296749945117) ], HeapSize=BoundedRangeStatistics[ [low: 0, high: 828243968, current: 828243968]HeapSize(description: Size of the VM's heap, units: Bytes, startTime: 1296748847672, lastSampleTime: 1296749945117), BoundryStatistics[ 0, 0, HeapSize(description: Size of the VM's heap, units: Bytes, startTime: 1296748847670, lastSampleTime: 0) ] ]} ]
Found out in the meantime.
gives an output such as:
