I have been using jde for 3 years in the workplace for java web
development.  It has served me very well.  In fact, fancy GUI IDEs like
eclipse and jdevelper (I have never used netbeans) frustrate me to no
end, now that I am accustomed to jde.

I augment jde's functionality by using XRefactory.  It makes traversal
through the source code much easier.

The downside: jde is only now becoming more jdk-1.5 friendly, and
XRefactory can only handle jdk-1.4.  Perhaps someone who uses semantic
could offer their opinion?

AFAIK JDEE does not support the new syntax that come with Java version
starting from  1.5 (I would more  than happily receive  a message that
says "You Idiot, Java 6 is supported since JDEE x.y.z").

Nevertheless, I have  jet to see an editor as powerful  as Emacs, so I
suggest to use both.

Yahoooooo, almost the "You Idiot, Java 6 is supported since JDEE x.y.z"!

Heck, it seems not much people use Emacs anyway.

I learned emacs because I need a more powerful editor than vi when
switching from C programming to Java programming, and since my company
is still using 1.4, the 1.5/1.6 problem doesn't bother me so much, and
when it does, I will take a shot at moving it to 1.5/1.6.

Well, the thing that bothers me is the lack of a debugger, hence I am
coding one, at http://code.google.com/p/jdibug/.

Oh yeah, having jde-usages and flymake is a big plus. It makes jdee
more closer to eclipse (I have never tried netbeans).
