Hello there,
I just found the solution to my problem running Java on Village and Town VPSs (with openSUSE 11.0) due to the large amounts of memory required by the JVM. Now I want to share with others what I found.
The problem happens whn you try to run java and get the following error:
# java
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
In order to run almost ANY java-powered program when you have low memory, you can replace the java executable with a wrapper that adds the -Xmx option to the real executable. This is how to do that:
*Find the java executable
*Rename java to something else
*Create a bash script that runs the real java executable with -Xmx parameter and the original parameters supplied by the caller
Here are the commands to run as root:
# cd $JAVA_HOME/bin
# mv java xmjava
# touch java
# chmod +x java
# nano java
You can use nano, vi or ANY other editor you like. When in the editor, paste the following code:
#!/bin/bash
./xmjava -Xmx16m "$@"
Replace the "16m" with the amount of megabytes you like, for example "32m", "128m" etc.
To check if it works, try to run "java -version". Here is what it did on my VPS:
marcus:/usr/bin # java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
IcedTea6 1.4 (suse-24.4-i386) Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b14)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 14.0-b08, mixed mode)
So it works now 
Remember!!! Java is very memory-consuming!! Don't expect all the programs to run fine. If you have a huge Java DBMS process to execute, never expect it to work unless you buy a large VPS. Java will work fine for console scripts, or awt applications if you enabled X11 Tunnelling in SSH.
Again: don't expect taht EVERYTHING will run. You may still wish to try mono................
Thanks to VPSVille support for helping me in my research.

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
I think is not possible to start a jvm!!

You need to set the heap on the command line to run Java in a low memory environment. See the above instructions or consult your Java docs.
