That's not the point. The point is, even with a tiny one-class test
project, it's 100 MB, so imagine what it will be like with something real.

I do know how, thank you.
IDEs are too useful to give up. JBuilder will tell you when you have a
syntax error or undeclared variable before you compile it. It helps you
manage multiple-file builds. It lets you navigate a class through its
membership. It emulates Emacs in its editor. It will take care of
classpath issues for you. It will do a lot of things. And it's FREE.
I don't need all of the things it does, there's no way I would go to a
straight text editor and javac. No way.

It's one of the criteria, and a perfectly valid one.
I just started up JBuilder, with two projects, one of them largish. It
came to 50 MB. Eclipse is too big.
