The parameter -Xmx###M has to be applied to the hava call you are doing 
to execute josm. For me (using 2 GiB of memory) it looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx2048M -jar 
"C:\Users\Claudius\Downloads\josm-latest.jar"

You need to adapt your link to:
a) your local Java Runtime Environment installation (that's the first part)
b) your downloaded location JOSM location.

You need large memory especially when working with the WMS-Plugin.
