33,155 PointsHave you tried ShiftEdit? Looks good. Can use it with ftp or google drive. It works as a browser extension, and if you're developing for Android you can go ahead and write and test your Java with it. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/shiftedit/lcgmndephhjcabhhjfcmncnhbmgbkpij
Pretty sure it's not going to be as robust as Eclipse however, and it says it has offline support but I've yet to try offline. Hope this helps.

Treehouse TeacherGood find, James Barnett! This is probably your best bet, though you might be in for some frustrations. Chromebooks are great but not as powerful development machines. Hopefully this is a workable solution for you.
