General Development Six months ago, Linux vendor Red Hat acquired the closed source Exadel Studio Pro IDE and pledged to turn it into a fully open source Red Hat product. On Monday, Red Hat officially released JBoss Developer Studio, based on the Exadel product as a 100 percent open source IDE. The new Eclipse based IDE offering from Red Hat's JBoss division will provide a development environment that will work on both Windows and Linux for Java middleware solutions from JBoss.

Eclipse-based IDE? It's based on Java. No thanks, I won't give it 120MB of RAM just to display the IDE's GUI. I'll be fine with a 100% native application like Code:Blocks, KDevelop, Komodo or Dev C++.

I tend to avoid Java applications at all price. RAM is still expensive. I ditched Zend Studio, Aptana and Eclipse for this reason. You see right away when it's a Java application. Long live C++.

"It's based in Java. Long Live C++."

What a great set of original arguments...

RAM is too expensive?

I guess the $69 US I paid (including shipping) for the extra 2 GB of RAM I stuffed in my desktop was just too expensive, huh?
