I used to do some Java stuff on a box with 384MB (running windows 2000
and nothing else significant, probably a VNC viewer and a couple of
cygwin shells) and it was very painful indeed.

half a gig is probably a reasonable minimum if you don't want to sit
around a lot. I can't see any reason at all to have less than a gig
myself, & I'd not configure a development machine with less than 2 (by
the time you've god a VMware image for test etc, you need lots). Now
you're going to say `but that's for the IDE *and* the OS etc, not just
the IDE', but that is, in fact, the question that was asked and
originally answered.
