Minecraft server on ReadyNAS 104

Is it possible to run Minecraft server on a ReadyNAS 104 or is not powerful enough for the job? If it is, how do I get java and mincraft installed as there are no apps available to do so?

I believe an Intel CPU is required for a Minecraft server. The 104 has an ARM CPU.

See the linux console part : http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Server/R ... /Dedicated
1.2Ghz with 512MB is required for the server, you should add the OS requirements. This would exceed the RN104 memory limit. As for the CPU this would be weak too.
More over they didn't say anything about ARM vs intel, though I think this is JAVA so this shouldn't matter.

I would advise using a good old machine or buying a mini PC, I'm pretty sure there are raspberry pi competitors out there with dual core CPU and 1Gb ram.
Java is not known for its security, exposing a NAS directly to internet with Java installed is not advised if you ask me.
