Native Java IDE

[Soap_Dude]

Does anyone know of an editor/IDE for Java that is not written in Java? I have an old machine, and cannot run any Java-based graphical IDE with any efficiency. (I've tried Netbeans and Eclipse, I have to wait about a minute between any actions) I don't want to compile in terminal either...

On the other hand, my C++ IDE runs expediently, and without a glitch.

I guess a smaller/faster Java-based IDE would be fine too.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Take a look at Anjuta or KDevelop.

jdee perhaps. Package name is 'jde'.

You might also try jedit, which is native java, but is not as heavyweight.

Otherwise, I don't think you should be so quick to dismiss the combination of editor + terminal window + ant.

What IDE do you use for C++ work? What are your requirements?

I ask this because most text editors, such as vim or Emacs, can be used as very good development environments. They take some setting up and getting used to, but you will most likely never encounter a *NIX system where they aren't availiable.

vim is probably your only choice.

I highly recommend SciTE - very lightweight. If you'd like to do a little browsing, here are some Dapper package lists for editors and development:
