why sad?

... because this is what happens when I use Java-based tools that are associated with Google (i.e. Eclipse+ADT): http://i46.tinypic.com/300tyc9.png

It's meant to run on a server i think, reducing memory so it's laptop friendly probably was not a driving feature

It uses Google Wave. Well I guess it's not totally dead.

Not really. "It doesn't really use any parts of Wave's collab stack...We only really use the Keyboard signal event stuff from Wave since it is a pretty great library" -Jamie Yap's comment on g+ post.

If you're complaining about the memory usage, lower the max heap size with the arguments: -Xms512m -Xmx512m. If it's CPU usage: turn off some of those addons. You can't say Java 7 is the root cause of the CPU usage and not Eclipse.

Plus Java feels like it has a target painted on its back by malware authors these days.

Any demo sites, videos, or screen shots?

I've just recorded a short 3 minute screencast showing an install and demo of Collide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gq12bLbm54 - to just see what it looks like in action, jump to 1:45.

(Please note, I have no special connection to the project.. just saw it here this evening, installed it, and poked around slightly ;-))

Apache Wave is alive and well. BTW, I think we can stop calling it Google Wave :-)

I run Apache Wave on my laptop just to kick the tires and I had it on a server for a while so I could ask a few people to try it with me. It is an instant install and run from either the svn or mirrored git repo, if you use the default file store. Configuring it with MongoDB as a data store takes some more effort.

/me reads features... Awesome! /me reads Java 7 requirement... Sadness.

You can always share emacs (or vim) under screen, tmux or that other thing Ubuntu uses on a throwaway EC2 instance.

I've been doing pair programming sessions on a Google Hangout sharing screens and I'm considering giving this setup another try.
