A 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 17y agoIndeed - I used my eeepc for some Eclipse Android development and it worked quite well.
- ianso 17y 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 17y 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 17y agoHey, that's pretty neat. Thanks for sharing!
- koenigdavidmj 17y agoPyDev is amazing as well. Admittedly, the machine upon which I'm running it has 16 GB of RAM, though.
- timwiseman 17y 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.
