Java IDE for Windows 98?

[Arne Vajhøj]

Can any of you recommend a Java development environment for an older
Windows 98 machine? I have tried several products including Eclipse and
Netbeans, but they seemed to heavy for this system and none of the
others have really worked.

Either get an IDE from the same time (like JBuilder 4-5-6).

Or go for an editor instead. Example: JEdit (www.jedit.org).

BlueJ might work. It is designed for students.

Must you use Windows 98?

It might be possible to use Xubuntu Linux (which is a much more modern
O/S for memory restricted machines) and BlueJ.

sure . Its very light.

Unfortunately there is a huge risk that he will end up
rather helpless.

I have seen so many BlueJ users that could not do even
simple things because BlueJ did not have the function and
they did not understand what BlueJ did behind the scene.

Have you considered jCreator? Fairly light-weight but powerful, and
there's a classic version for Win 98. There's a review here:
