Most of the time I use JEdit. A good basic IDE with lots of plug-ins for
extra features. Because it runs in Java, then it is OS independent.

I've tried Sun's NetBeans, which seems fine, but the project centric
approach can be a pain. Like JEdit, use any version of Java and add extra
APIs without problems.

I've used JBuilder foundation under Windows. Never again! You get stuck
with the provided version of Java, adding extra APIs is a pain and, in my
case at least, it trashed working Java systems and would not compile/run
code known to be correct as a result. I could no longer even do it from
the command line as it had changed defaults in the registry.

I've not tried Eclipse, though it's supposed to be good.
