Newbie question on graddle startup error

[Jayesh Thakrar <j_...@yahoo.com.INVALID>]

Hi,
I have been using Kafka as DevOps user for a few months now and am now looking at "building/testing" Kafka from source code.My gradle build is failing (source from GitHub) with the error show below.This is a windows laptop with 4 GB memory and about 3 GB free RAM.I have also tried increasing the heap size (-Xmx) to 1500m, but that did not help too.
I am sure this is something very basic, but can't seem to be able to figure out.Thanks,Jayesh
