With only 128MB RAM, just about [i]any[/b] GUI IDE will be dead slow. I've never found life any fun unless I had at least double that, and these days, I'm running a full 1GB because in addition to the IDE, running J2EE debug session really eats memory.

If you can stand living your life on the CTRL and ESC keys and working on a character-mode terminal, your best bet is probably to install Emacs and the Emacs JDE package. I've used it in as little as 96MB of RAM on a P-200 (with no windowing system running), though even it can be slow when it comes to auto-completions.

It won't give you everything that Eclipse will, but it can be pretty helpful.

I recommend you change your eclipse.ini file so that it only allocates about 80mb of RAM. By default it will use up to 256MB. That means if you happen to push eclipse into requiring more than the available ram for your system (128) then the OS will start paging the RAM to the Harddrive which will be dog slow.

See the readme file in
\eclipse\readme

Further I recommend a RAM upgrade. I have a laptop about the same as yours but I only use it for experimenting. Real development would be painful.

The Pentium III processor can support up to 4GB of memory. I ruotinely develop using Eclipse on a PIII with 512MB.

If there is a limitation on your system it will most probably be imposed by your motherboard. I have never encountered a PIII motherboard which limited memory to 128MB, although I have seen some which would not accept more than 512MB, or which used unusual memory modules.

Can you tell us any more about the make and model of your machine and motherboard, and whar sort of RAM you are using?
