Eclipse has been the top Java IDE on my list for a long time. I especially
love its Java editor and refactoring capabilities, which are quite powerful. I
simply can't live w/o my Ctrl+T/Ctrl+O/Ctrl+Shft+F/Ctrl+Shft+O shortcuts. The
plugin development environment is also quite powerful as its based on OSGi. A
bit problematic when it comes to developing Java web applications. And
performance is a problem (especially with large projects, also need to keep
refreshing projects or they get out sync very quickly). But still, an awesome
IDE overall!
