I'm not sure what you're doing to get Eclipse to use up 400 MB of anything. Right now I have had Eclipse open for 9 hours working on many files, with CF8 running as well. Peak Memory Utilization: Eclipse: 157 Mb CF8: 241 Mb CFEclipse and a local install of CF will run just fine on a machine with 1 Gb of RAM. I guess only the super rich can develop for CF at this point. Come on now. If you are seriously saying you can't use CFEclipse because you don't have enough RAM, I have to point out that you can buy a 2Gb stick of DDR2 400 RAM for $68.

Which only runs on Windows. And according to Microsoft it requires "192 of RAM or more". Eclipse is also free and runs pretty swiftly if you point at at a current JVM. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
