Just to clear up. Both Eclipse and NetBeans are excellent (though I am partial to eclipse), however, they are both monster resource hogs. You need at least 256 megs of ram and perferable 512 and a decent processor to be comfortable using them. Another free option is Redhats Source-Navigator which is a bit strange, but quite nice.
SunOne is not free, neither is IDEA. Although IDEA is excellent I cannot comment on SunOne as I have not used it. On a resource constrained box your best bet is probably JDEE the Emacs based IDE. Its a bit basic as IDEs go and emacs has a steep learning curve, but once you are over the hump you can really fly on laying out code. There are a few other good ideas out there that. On linux/unix Codeforge isn't bad, its somewhere in the range of $75 bucks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 9:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Juglist] recommendations for free linux-based java IDEs?
