Compared to Eclipse, it is :-)
- rubinelli 16y agoA fully loaded Eclipse (or one of IBM's mammoth IDEs, no idea they call them now) can take 1GB, but the bare-bones Java profile is almost snappy.
- dminor 16y agoIndeed - I used my eeepc for some Eclipse Android development and it worked quite well.
- ianso 16y agoThanks for the info you guys, I didn't know this. At work I generally have 1-3 large workspaces open in the "Java Enterprise" version of Eclipse, hence my warped perspective, maybe...
- toni 16y agoHave you tried Yoxos Eclipse[1] flavor? You can build your own distribution from scratch and only include the packages you need. You can even save your choices and continue modifying them next time you login. I have a very pleasant experience using it and my builds are usually around 100-200 MB.

- Legion 16y agoHey, that's pretty neat. Thanks for sharing!
- koenigdavidmj 16y agoPyDev is amazing as well. Admittedly, the machine upon which I'm running it has 16 GB of RAM, though.
- timwiseman 16y agoPyDev is truly impressive. For small tasks I prefer Spyder from http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/ http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/ though. It's truly light weight and easy to use for small tasks.
- run4yourlives 16y agoThat's like comparing a destroyer to the USS Nimitz and calling it a small boat.
- rbanffy 16y agoIf I told my then colleagues at Engineering school I would have a multitasking, UNIX-based, RISC machine with 64 megs of RAM and 32 gigabytes of storage and a fast, full-time, connection to the internet in my back pocket I would be locked up in a loony bin. If I told them I would use it to listen to music, I would end up burned for witchcraft. Even my humble netbook is a good couple hundred times more powerful than the my Apple II. I am quite sure it can accommodate NetBeans and Eclipse quite comfortably, apart from the screen real-estate limitations.
