Tranquil Java Integrated Development Environment
Tranquil Java (TJ) is a small and fast integrated development environment for the Java programming language. Unlike most IDEs, TJ is a Text User Interface (TUI) based program: it uses a single fixed-width font for everything, making it extremely fast and lightweight in comparison to typical Graphical User Interface (GUI) based IDEs.
TJ's look-and-feel is loosely similiar to DOS-era IDEs such as Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++.
TJ has several other unique features that distinguish it from other IDEs:
-
Fast startup time (1-3 seconds on i3 class CPU with spinning disk drive), low memory overhead (64-128MB), small disk footprint (less than 3 MB, plus the J2SE JDK), and no dependency on network connections.
-
The ability to run in both Xterm-like environments (Unix command line shells or over ssh) and as a Swing component for X11/Windows/Mac, with the same behavior and look-and-feel.
-
Image support, for both Swing and Xterm. When running under Xterm, images are dithered to a fixed color palette and rendered as sixel graphic sequences.
-
A text terminal window / shell with good Xterm/VT100 support, including mouse. This enables easy use of external editors (e.g. vi, emacs, nano, etc.), and provides a fully-interactive shell as the in-development program's output window. Terminal windows will also resize correctly if using ptypipe.
-
Support for the raw Linux console by using LCXterm to convert GPM mouse events into X10 mouse events.
