Except for it doesn't run fine for me and I've got a monster computer. However, JCreator is also simpler, and more to-the-point.
Well to each his own. I haven't used JCreator in a few years so maybe it has changed. I'll have to take a look at it again.
At the time it was a decent IDE, but very basic. I think it would be a good choice for new programmers, and possibly for experienced programmers as well depending on what they're doing.
Eclipse is nice if you code in more than just Java, and any feature that it doesn't have is usually available as a plugin.
I think the most important bit is the fact that Eclipse basically runs on any platform that has a JRE, which isn't a big deal if you're developing on your own, but if you're working with other people on a project everyone using the same development environment makes things a lot easier.
