If you want to see an example of a fast starting, bare-bones development tool that's based on Eclipse, check out the Dart editor. https://www.dartlang.org/tools/editor/ Mike Milinkovich mike.milinkovich@xxxxxxxxxxx +1.613.220.3223
Hey Kaloyan,

I think it is not as easy as "remove bundle X or do not install feature Y"... unfortunately... The questions that are coming up for me are (for example): what would be necessary to get the Eclipse IDE starting up and be ready to use in 2sec, for example? I know, it sounds a bit crazy and maybe seemingly impossible, but those are the questions that help me to think about this. What do you think?
