garbage-collecting

I'm having trouble with a JVM running an app, whose heap memory looks like a comb. It's constantly jumping from 1.5 GB to 3 GB and slowly deteriorating to higher values. I'm using G1 GC algorithm, but have no idea how to configure it.

I do not have access to the code of the app I'm running and, needless to say, it's a rather large app.

So, bottom line, does anyone know of a good guide to configure GC in Java?
