I don't use Eclipse or JEdit.
I use Netbeans.
JEdit is only an Editor with plugins feature like EMACS. So it can be turned in an IDE. It is simpler than full blown IDEs.
Netbeans and Eclipse are big free IDEs with a lot of feature. But they are also very complex.
Netbeans is from Sun and doesn't support SWT. It has a smoother learning curve than Eclipse.
I think that Eclipse has a bigger user community and is more used in commercial products.
PS: It must be possible to display optionally XES files as text file (like if processed with an XSLT) and edit them like that using a JEditorKit.
the JEditorKit is a class that can be used to do code highlighting. It makes possible to store internally XES code as a document model and I guess that both Eclipse and Netbeans work like that.
