Hello All,

Before I suck up some 30-70MEG of my monthly download allowance
downloading Eclipse for Linux, can anyone tell me if it is worth the
time/effort/bandwidth?

I have Eclipse running under WindersNT4, and I like it, but I've heard
that the Linux version is somewhat under par. Is this still the case?

Alternatively, can someone recommend a good editor for writing Java
(other than emacs which I hate more than WindowsXP)? With a good editor
I'll just compile from the command-line and eventually learn Ant.

Thanks for any and all replies,

Ian
