Yeah, I've run javac on a machine with 4MB RAM. Took minutes to compile a Hello World, but it worked.

However, that was the Sun JDK 1.2 - I wouldn't be so sure that a current mainstream JVM can still be that frugal.

It's possible that your 4MB machine went into swap VM if it really consumed minutes of time. Java 1.2 would have been circa 1998 where one might've expected 32MB or better on a desktop-class machine.
