/cc @meisterT  Can you try with an explicit argument for `-Xmx`, e.g.
`bazel --host_jvm_args=-Xmx4g info`? Great idea! I didn't think about it. Unfortunately I will test it on Monday. Unfortunately
```bash

0.27.1 is not working as well.

Is it possible to use "external" JDK? You can point Bazel to a different JDK with `--server_javabase` (https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/command-line-reference.html#flag--server_javabase).
Is that message actually coming from the JVM or from Windows? cc @meteorcloudy in case he has further ideas. Thank you @meisterT . I should check out the doc first.

How to differentiate that?

Interesting thing.
`bazel` fails on PS, cmd, ConEmu with Git Bash but works on Git Bash
```
krzyskar@COMPUTERNAME MINGW64 ~
$ bazel
WARNING: --batch mode is deprecated. Please instead explicitly shut down your Bazel server using the command "bazel shutdown".
                                                          [bazel release 0.27.1]
Usage: bazel <command> <options> ...
``` To my own surprise, I can repro this!

1. Created a GCP VM with Windows Server 2008, 1 CPU + 32GB RAM
2. Installed Bazel 0.27.1 through Chocolatey
3. Installed Zulu JDK 8, 64bit
4. Installed VC redist DLLs
5. Created a hello world `java_binary`
6. `bazel run //:hello` fails the same way @KrzysztofKarol described

I'll try to investigate. More info:
- error is not Java specific: `bazel run` fails also for py_binary
- also not Bash specific: `bazel run` runs all binaries through bash.exe by default, but it also fails with `--incompatible_windows_bashless_run_command`, i.e. when not running through Bash
- there are enough resources: using any of the binaries in genrule.tools and building the genrule works

CreateProcess fails with ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES.

And https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1460995 seems very relevant: 
> CreateProcess fails with ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES on Windows 7. It looks like the reason why is because PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST doesn't like console handles.
>
> We can fix this by only setting that policy (and its associated inheritable handles) when there is one or more standard handles that are *not* console handles.
>
> Note that if all handles are console handles, we don't need to pass STARTF_USESTDHANDLES either, since they'll automatically be set to the current console. And that is indeed the problem!

Here:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/6d0b14b95a71175362030b4811ca74512b00a890/src/main/native/windows/process.cc#L166-L187 when I don't use the attribute list, remove `EXTENDED_STARTUPINFO_PRESENT`, and use a `STARTUPINFOW` instead of `STARTUPINFOEXW` and let the subprocess inherit none of the handles, `bazel run` works. (And also prints to the console.) Fixed by https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/8793
Although looks like this solves the problem, but we also need to make sure this doesn't leak any file handles other than `stdin`, `stdout` and `stderr` into the subprocess.  I verified that it doesn't:
- created a program that uses the exact same code to create a subprocess
- the program also opens a file before creating the process
- i observed the subprocess' handles in Process Explorer.

With the current code, the subprocess does NOT inherit the file handle, even though I marked the handle inheritable.

If I change the code and pass the file handle as the stdout for the subprocess, then the handle is inherited and shown by process explorer. Nice, thanks for the verifying!!

Temporary solution:
Install **bazel@0.25.0**, 0.26.0 is not working as well.
