Fast Native Eclipse with GTK+ Looks

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-your-gui-on dept.

Mark Wielaard writes "The gcj team created a natively compiled build of the Eclipse IDE. The resulting binary starts up faster then with any traditional JVM since there is no virtual machine to initialize or slow byte code interpreter or just in time compiler involved. This means that gcj got a lot better since the last Slashdot story in December about gcj and Eclipse. Red Hat provides RPMs for easy installation. Footnotes has screenshots by Havoc Pennington of the Eclipse IDE with GTK+ widgets."

    Being used less and less? Surely you jest. Java is a huge sucess and its use continues to grow.
