Q: 

Is there any Lightweight IDE for java [ windows ]

Possible Duplicate:
Light weight Java IDE

At present i am using Eclipse, which i think is the best IDE for java. But in terms of memory consumption , it is really a big memory hogger. Do you know any IDE for java, which is the light[est] weight?

Today i have downloaded DrJava IDE. It seems promising. Other than this if you know any IDE please let us know.

Essentials features which i think should have in that IDE are:-

  • Auto Completion

  • Syntax highlighting

  • code formatter

  • code refactoring [ good to have, but not at the cost of memory ]

  • Jump to File [ :) i like this ]

+1  A: 

TextPad can do most of those

Try NetBeans: http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.0/final/

Why version 6.0? Also I don't really think Netbeans is lightweight. It is lighter than Eclipse, though.

Netbeans, lightweight? I don't think anything that needs a loading screen is lightweight.
