It is important to note that you don't *need* to use an IDE.

I work on large (> 1.000.000 LOC) projects and use Emacs and
command line tools (Make/CVS/tcsh etc.) just fine. The projects
includes both web based, J2EE and heavy Swing applications.
Using light weight, powerful, customizable tools put me in
charge of the development process.

That said, it is important to identify the development
environment as *personal*. When setting up a large multi-
programmer project, everyone involved should be able to use
the development tools that suits them and make them most
powerful. Avoid enforcement of a particular "project" IDE.
For Java development this principle also holds for the OS.
