Developing in the NetBeans Platform

Question

I am trying to put together a very light built of netbeans 7.1 RC2.

What are the minimum requirement of clusters from the Netbeans Plaform to edit, compile and run a java program?

I am looking for only the java essential clusters and modules since all dependencies will be resolved by Netbeans

Also I am trying to cover all the bases with the java editor so i need support for SE, EE, FX and possibly others that might be required or desired.

Your question is confusing.

If you want to build an application that "edits, compiles and runs a java program" then you need at least the "ide" cluster (and its dependencies). You'll end up with a NetBeans clone, basically.

If you want to "edit, compile and run" (within NetBeans) a "java program" that uses the NetBeans platform then you need the "platform" cluster only.
