Oh, this takes me back to my university days where I spent time with Lejos [0] on an RCX brick (32 kilobytes of usable space).

I recall using Eclipse for development and I am sure the build process involved uploading the JVM and program code via a USB infrared interface.

Have to say that I preferred using "Not Quite C" [1] due to it having a simpler syntax and intuitive support for cooperative multitasking.

I had a lab partner, and Java was our shared language. I don't remember the decision process that went into choosing our language, but I'm sure that was a big part of it.

Actually, looking at NQC's page, they don't support the NXT, just the RCX. That certainly would've been the killer for us, there.
