Eclipse (40% of all java developpers in a poll, 1ste place) www.eclipse.org
for J2SE, J2EE, J2ME:
+ open source, free, backed by IBM, very good, ANT, CVS, ... support
- not really drag 'n drop, installation without shortcuts
. installation: Install J2SE SDK 1.4 from java.sun.com, download zip, unzip
in a directory, create a desktop link to the jar(opens like an exe if SDK
installed)

IntelliJ (10%, 3th place) www.intellij.com for J2SE, J2EE, J2ME:
+ very very very good core, refactoring, formatting, shortcuts, ANT, ... (my
favorite)
- not free, not drag 'n drop

JBuilder (2de place): + drag 'n drop - don't like it
NetBeans: - really don't like it (worked with it over a year)

Thank you for any and all help,
Geoffrey
