I think you might need to check minimum hardware requirements depending on the JVM version. For example here is for Java 7 or 8

java.com/en/download/help/sysreq.xml

You can also consult on this guide:

Because the app is a hello world, then I would assume that you will need the minimum (say a safe 8mb)
