[platform-swt-dev] Can't eclipse run in 128mb?

[Brad Cox <bcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I downloaded the latest stable release yesterday. When I tried to create
a
project on my 128mb Linux/RedHat 7.0 development machine (just plain new
project, no files), the cursor froze solid until it eventually finished 
whatever it was doing almost 1/2 hour later. 

The window manager is xfce. I've seen these symptoms before when apps
require
 more/most of the 128mb RAM. Is this a common problem? Is there a
workaround. The obvious solution, more
RAM's not an option financially and as a matter of principle.

The machine works fine otherwise, with plain gvim + java.
