    Maybe not. If it actually stops at 100 MB, then that might not be so
    bad. I'm used to JBuilder's image size growing with use, which might be
    a specific problem with JBuilder that Eclipse wouldn't have. I only
    have 256MB on my Win2K machine, and I suppose I should join the modern
    world.

    I'm not sure I buy that. That seems to me to be just a rationale for
    over-sized IDEs like Visual (Fee-fi-fo-fum!) Studio.

    Eclipse is built on SWT, which is supposed to be more efficient and
    close to native widgets than Sun's GUI layer. I guess I had hoped for a
    smaller, more efficient IDE than what I saw in Eclipse 3.0.

    My favorite IDE of all time is still Intellij's IDEA, but that program
    really was a memory hog.
