Stuck at deployNodes when trying to run the basic cordapp-example

The problem

I'm trying to run the cordapp-example ("Basic" folder), but when I try to do that I get stuck at the deployNodes instruction by the following top error:

$ ./gradlew deployNodes
Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 busy and 1 stopped Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details

> Task :workflows-java:deployNodes

    at org.apache.

The first time it was showing off errors continuously (at "executing" stage, 38%) and it almost crashed my machine because of resources consumption; so I stopped the process and made it run again, getting the aforementioned error.

What I tried

• I checked I set the environment correctly, it appeared so.
• I reinstalled the JDK and the JRE, hotspot version.
• I deleted the folder of the sample and cloned it again

Additional info

$ java -version  
openjdk version "1.8.0_275"  
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (AdoptOpenJDK)(build 1.8.0_275-b01)  
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (AdoptOpenJDK)(build 25.275-b01, mixed mode)  

• Windows 10
• JDK 8
• IntelliJ
• Gradle 5.6.4

I can't spot the problem, can you help me?
