I normally have Eclipse, DbVisualizer, Firefox, and Tomcat running while I am developing stuff for JForum. Until I moved my database instance to the server I was also running a PostgreSQL instance on my MacBook Pro. All within 4 Gb RAM. Normally not a problem. Every so often I restart Firefox, but that is it.
Officially my MacBook Pro only supports 4 Gb RAM. I have seen some after market suppliers saying it can go up to 6 GB. I may try it out - it is cheap enough for the experiment.
Back to the original topic - another thing I don't often think about (because it is kind of a "do it once" type deal) is to remove all the plugins you are not using in IntelliJ and/or Firefox. They all take up memory and make the system less responsive.

Stop shutting it down. There is rarely ever a need to turn off a Mac completely. Just let is sleep.
