You need more memory. There is a command that will show you how much memory is in use and where. Wine does need memory to run in and then you put the Java VM on top of that.

My Swap partition is 4GB. > That's what I'd set too: twice physical RAM. That certainly works with a Linux native Sun JVM. Back when my main server only had 256 MB RAM I was regularly running Java processes with -Xmx460m when it overflowed RAM it got pretty slow due to page faulting but it kept on running. However, the Windows memory map is a lot different to the Linux one and has different limitations. I have vague memories that an XP process can't exceed about 1.8GB due to OS limits but may have misremembered. Have you watched the process run with the top utility? If so, did it ever use swap space and/or did the process virtual memory exceed RAM (or the -Xmx setting) before it all fell apart? It may be worth while visiting the comp.lang.java.programmer newsgroup, but search its archive for similar problems first. If you don't find anything, ask your question on c.l.j.p. In any case there are people there who regularly run Java code under Windows: I don't. Is it possible to make an SSCE[1] that can demonstrates the problem? That may give you a clue to follow. If you visit c.l.j.p you'll probably be asked for one, so making one is a good debugging exercise.
