So if I understand this a bit, you are running Windows and then using 
Microsoft virtual machine to run Fedora, then running a java virtual 
machine and it is being a resource hog?

Did you try to run RHL 8.0, then launch the microsoft virtual machine 
program through wine to launch Fedora and see if the memory resources 
are any better?
