Hi,

i had no problems what so ever using Eclipse under Windows NT. I downloaded Eclipse.zip and the current Java JRE from sun (very easy to find ).
It took me about 60 seconds to install the Java VM (I just clicked 'OK' in the InstallShield wizzard everytime) and eclipse run right out of the box. It uses max. 90MB of memory and runs fast as hell. It is far superiour to VisualStudio (in my oppinion) and i use it every day since 2 months...
I also installed it under QNX (a realtime OS) on another machine and it runs very well. Therefore I can#t se why it shouldn't be portable?
Cheers
