Hi, I thought I'd give Gel a shot since I want to ditch JBuilder, too, and
JEdit and Eclipse can be a bit hoggish. I am running a lot on my box at
work, and only have 512M...and I find myself over that with the piggy IDEs. 

One question: what compiler do you use? I find that jikes wasn't working -
it wanted something in it's classpath, but I'm not sure what. Once I went
back to javac, it compiled. But javac is dog slow.

Also, how do you get the output from the compiler? I didn't see any
integration with Ant, either, but maybe I'm missing that... 

I ask you since the website doesn't seem to have a user mailing list, and
the online help and forums are unwieldy, IMHO.
