First, how the hell would he know, just by *using* Eclipse,
whether it used Swing or not? (Perhaps he could tell by
its modestly un-Swing-like 500MB memory footprint?)


I was assuming he was not a complete idiot and had two eyes and that's
how he would know it didn't use Swing.


In truth it has been a while since I used it.
Thinking about it I know it dosn't use Swing.


Second, I got the impression he was talking about the Java
code one would develop using Eclipse. That is, 500MB to run
the IDE, plus another 500MB to accomodate the program under
development, which might very well use Swing.

It doesn't use 500MB just to run the IDE (not even close), so obviously
he was talking out of his ass about things he has no idea about.


But the memory requirements grow over time..
I am not talking about the memory when I start it.
My last machine had 256 Mb with windows. To low to run any large Java App
comfortably. I monitored the use of memory over time and stand by the 512 Mb claim.
You can run it with a lot less. But the question was "without seeming slow".

And yes.. My frustration comes more from large java programs
in general than Eclipse in particular.
Sorry if I insulted you with my ignorance.
