How about Eclipse on old hdwr? I already know how much NB struggles :) (though in its defense, it's really Swing that struggles, NB does more working w/in Swings performance constraints than any app I've seen)
-----Original Message----- From: James Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 13:46 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Can anybody tell how to setup struts in Netbeans IDE Well, I would know. When I bought this laptop months ago, I gave my old one away. It was a PII 233 w/64MB. I ran NetBeans on it one time......and never tried it again....LOL. That was about the most painful thing I've watched in quite a while. I thought I was smelling smoke for a few minutes. So my new laptop is a 1 gig with 128 (which I upgraded about 2 weeks ago to 512), so Eclipse is now SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMING!!!! -- James Mitchell Software Engineer/Struts Evangelist http://www.open-tools.org "If you were plowing a field, which would you rather use?
