    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3748?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13190084#comment-13190084 ] 

Denis Golovin commented on JBDS-3748:
-------------------------------------

More accurate calculation for required disk space:
* Installer 1.6G
* Installer unpacks contents to temp folder + 1.6G
* Target Folder after installation 2.7G
* Copy of virtual machine image in C:\Users\eskimo\.vagrant.d\boxes\cdkv2\0\virtualbox  + 1G
* Virtual machine files in C:\Users\eskimo\VirtualBox VMs\rhel-ose_default_1460383456479_40322 + 3.5G

It is about 10G of disk space taken right after installation. 

Then JBDS starts and creates workspace + 0.2G.
Windows should have enough free space on disk for swap file minimum/maximum file size recommended is RAM size/3 x RAM size, so medium would be 2 x RAM Size.
User also needs space for sources + 5G.

Considering all these numbers I would suggest:
1. Minimum configuration:
    8G RAM;
    10G + 2 * 8G + 5G = 31G;
    CPU Intel i3 2GHz
2. Recommended configuration:
    16G RAM;
    10G + 2 * 16G + 5G = 47G;
    CPU Intel i5 2GHz or better
