Hello Everybody,
I am doing a project on semantic search engine using netbeans 6.8.Now the problem,netbeans 6.8 is sized a massive 288MB along with JDK6 which is 78MB,I am absolutely sure this slow down my system by all cost,So should I proceed installing netbeans for my project or is another software which could help me?
