Both Eclipse and NetBeans should run fine on that machine. What do you 
mean by "lightweight"? 

Lightest weight is a text editor plus Ant plus command line, which works 
just fine. I use emacs if in that mode, but vi{,m} or whatever plain text
tool you use is just fine.

The aforementioned IDEs are just Java programs. They do give a lot of bang 
for the megabyte.

Everyone should know how to do Java command-line/scripted anyway.
