I happen to run the linux JDK on a 486/66 yesterday. 16MB of RAM and
complete Redhat 5.2. Compiling a little java servlet took about 9 minutes
to compile! And javac is just a java program, like any other... So I guess
it won't be a good idea tu run java on a 486... My guess is that min
requirements are +- pentium 75Mhz+ 20MB of RAM. A workable Linux
distribution (you should be able to do something with it...) takes about
50Mb + some swap + extra space for java process = 100Mb.
