Barney has a point here -- I am forcing myself to use Eclipse on the
Mac & it does appear slow -- especially when writing and testing other
Java programs.

I guess it is because there are quite a few Java JVMs/Programs/Applets
running, what with CFMXJ2ee/JRun, BDJ2ee/Jetty, Eclipse and the Java
programs I am writing/testing.

In a way it is similar to having multiple browser windows open each
running a Flash swf.

I sometimes get the impression that both Flash and Java could do a
better job by having system-wide resources on the client that could be
shared among all browser windows and applications.

In all honesty, I have tried DW, Eclipse, NetBeans, JEdit & a few other
IDEs.. but none compares (on the Mac) to BBEdit for flexibility &
performance.

I do like the way Eclipse does things for you when writing Java
programs -- like compiling & running applications and applets without
leaving the IDE.

I suppose a future release of CFEclipse (or HE3) could perform similar
tasks for CFML.

P.S. Rob just got a Mac so he can see Eclipse performance for himself.
