Alternatively you can clone main-golden, which is guaranteed to be safe
to pull from (main can be broken from time to time).

For me 512m is enough, but I'm on Linux.

If you don't need to whole IDE, you can build just one cluster which is
generally much faster and you can avoid the zip file creation by using
the build-nozip target. So for example you can build the ruby cluster
(i.e. the Ruby IDE) by doing:
ant -Dcluster.config=ruby build-nozip
It is possible to create your own cluster configurations if you want for
example Java and Ruby but nothing else, please see
http://wiki.netbeans.org/WorkingWithNetBeansSources for more info (looks
like the page is not entirely up-to-date, so let us know if you have any
problems with this).
HTH,
Erno
