Eclipse ressource question

Hi everyone!

so i'm gonna be deployed soon and can't take my PC,

i would like to know what is the minimum require to use Eclipse with Grmin SDK?

oracle8 java does not need something huge, but what about eclipse? I haven't found anything on their pages.

the only thing i found is about eclipse for Android dev which need huge ressource but i guess that Garmin sim does not need as huge?

my purpose is to by a small pc for travellings.

hope someone can help me.

have a good day.

You should be able to get a fairlt good idea from your current installation, and Im thinking even a minimal laptop should support it and leave you with space for things like SDK updates.

One thing you may run into though is screen resolution. On my laptop, some of the sim windows for devices don't fit that well in the height.

You could create a virtual machine and experiment what amount of resources is enought to work with for you.

Generally speaking I would say that an actual i5 (or similar) and 8GB memory should be a fair minimum.

If I open Eclipse with an IQ workspace it uses about 512 MB memory, the simulator uses 16 MB and Firefox with 10 tabs open uses 800 MB.
