I wouldn't think it possible. I was under the impression that Java is a
bit resource hungry.
I once shoe-horned a very cut down version onto a 266 MHz PII with 64
megs of RAM, but it was a text-only system used just as a very simple
webserver. Now it's got a lot more RAM, and runs in graphical mode.
Though it's still mainly used as a webserver, and sometimes as a
jukebox. Starting things going is the main problem with such a slow
machine, once they're up and running it's quite nice.
Not sure whether you mean point-of-sale, or piece-of-shit, machine, with
your POS acronym. But it's probably not too hard to find a better PC to
do your thing with, rather than try fighting with a very low spec box.
