Eclipse: A popular free IDE for writing Java. It does refactoring. It was originally developed by IBM. It is an enormous project encompassing more than just an IDE. SWT is a crack at tackling the same problem Swing does. This is Jon Skeet's favourite IDE. It allows plug-ins for extra functionality. It uses its own compiler that lets it do incremental compiles and hot swapping of code during debugging. It is the closest thing to a SCID I have come across. It is a 64 MB download. Some of the plug-ins available include:
EJBBuilder ¤ Genuitec Easie ¤ JOnAS Eclipse ¤ Lunar Eclipse ¤ obscure ¤ Solex ¤ SourceForge Solar Eclipse
