I'm trying to use Eclipse under Win98 SE. My computer configuration is

software to edit a class, frequently happens the message "illegal
operation, program will be closed". A friend of mine said that Eclipse is
really very heavy. When trying to type any object method, after the dot,
seems that the suggestion menu is blocking the machine working. Should I
increase the ram size or maybe the HD size ? There exist a light version
that can work in Win98 SE ? Thanks!

Estou tentando usar o Eclipse debaixo do Windows 98 SE. A configuração do
meu computador é Pentium 2, HD 4G (aproximadamente 500 mega livre), ram
192 mega.
Quando eu uso o software para editar uma classe, frequentemente acontece a
mensagem "operação ilegal, o programa será fechado". Um amigo meu me disse
que o Eclipse é realmente muito pesado. Ao tentar digitar qualquer metodo
de objeto, depois do ponto, parece que o menu de sugestão está bloqueando
o funcionamento da máquina. Será que eu deveria incrementar o tamanho da
RAM ou talvez o tamanho do HD ? Existe uma versão mais leve que sirva para
o Windows 98 SE ? Obrigado!

Hello Russel

There is no lightweight version of eclipse.

However you may try limit the amount of memory available for eclipse or
search for older version of eclipse (I had once 3.0 running on 98SE, but
256RAM).

Regards,
Chris

More RAM would probably help the most. Get 512MB if possible, because
Eclipse wants 256MB all to itself.

What JVM are you using to run Eclipse? Is it officially supported on
Win98? Eclipse is at the mercy of the JVM that is running it, so I would
start there.
I also second the recommendation to get as much RAM as possible and
allocate as much as possible to the Eclipse JVM.

In the end, I'd be surprised if you have much joy using Eclipse and a
modern JVM on Win98 - even if it works it will probably not be very
pleasant.

Hope this helps,
Eric
