[josm-dev] JOSM-NG and eclipse rcp

[Ľubomír Varga]

I am here new, but my opinion is this:

Eclipse and NetBeans are wery good programs. I use both equaly, about 2 hours 
a day (minimaly...) Developing program use relativly few resources (text 
editor :D). look at memmory and cpu compsintion of this monsters. Now add to 
it some gis sw consumption of resources. Should I buy new PC for josm-ng?

What about to use http://geotools.codehaus.org/ framework and make josm-ng on 
it? It is bigger framework (more of code for josm-ng writen if compared to 
eclipse/netbeans) and it should be faster to develop gis application there.

Just my opinion.

ps: I have 1.5 gb ram and runnig eclipse and netbeans at one time with default 
system (linux, ff, boinc, kontact....) utilizes it at about 90% :-)
