Eclipse is better than any crap that Lisp has, and is only slow and
bloated if you get your systems out of the dumpster.

So, what's the minimum configuration to make it work smoothly?
[I mean, any action, including starting the program, is too fast for
the user to notice he's waiting.]


About 500mb.
But if you are building anything substantial that too will require
a lot of memory so 1 Gb is better.
Java programs using Swing tend to grow enormously when used
for a while. I believe one of the reasons for this is that
memory is allocated in procedures then a subproc is called and the original
memory is never freed. This leads to a memory leak because java
retains memory not really in use. It is less of a problem in
Lisp since the coding style is more functional.
When Swing was created I think it was generally believed that
garbage Collection solved all problems. One the code was written the
problem was realized, but it was too late.

Another clueless one giving advice for something they've obviously
never used. Eclipse doesn't use Swing.
