OK I know this is off-topic, but I asked on the Java group and they're
hopeless. I'm asking here because DJGPP gets a lot of power out of
low-resource computers (well by today's standards), and you have the
GNU ideology of pride in good software, and you have RHIDE which is
quite a versatile IDE. 

Anyway I need an IDE that does syntax highlighting, and optionally a
bit of modularity. I think RHIDE does this, and can do highlighting
for languages other than C. So is it good for Java? Even better, is
there a Vi that does syntax-hiliting for Java? And is there a good
user-reference for Vi anywhere cos I only learned to use it in
practice?

The other thing I need is something to draw buttons and forms in
Windows, and output the code I need to stick them in Java, since
designing buttons by hand in Java is a bit of a pain. 

Anyway, I just thought it's more my sort of programmer over here, so
any help that's going, I'd be very grateful. I have a 486-DX4100 with
24MB of RAM.
