eclipse does have a different model for the UI, but once I got over the difference, I 
found it better. Those who are used to Borland's style of UI will find eclipse a bit 
un-intuitive at first, but having used it quite a bit the last month I find it is 
actually much more productive.
until I really sat down and tried it out, it was a bit weird at first. Once you get 
over the visual differences, the under lying framework is much more powerful and 
flexible than other java IDE's.  the plugin architecture allows one to write plugins 
for tomcat fairly easily.
 
there seems to be a lot of momentum with eclipse and I personally prefer it to swing. 
The widget API seems better to me and is much more appealing than swing. there are 
several server plugins in the work for eclipse including websphere and couple other 
popular containers.

Some of their stuff seems counter intuitive at the moment. So I'll take 
a rain check on that ide.

I'm suprised that Sun One Studio would need 512 mb of memory. Have you 
done some module tuning yet? That might help you reduce memory usage.
