Howto get memory usage of a started process


I try to get the memory usage of a process started via Java.
Can someone give me a hint how to do it for the example Notepad.exe?

    // Memoryusage of the Java programm
    Runtime runtime=Runtime.getRuntime();
    total = runtime.totalMemory();
    System.out.println("System Memory: " + total);

    ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder("notepad.exe");
    Process p = builder.start();

Thanks for your help!
