Yes, quite a number of us are.

Personally, I don't bother with jhbuild; I just manually build the
java-gnome libraries (ie, glib-java, cairo-java, libgtk-java and
libglade-java for most of my work). I have libgtk-java imported into an
Eclipse workspace. [I actually use Darcs to shuttle between my CVS
checkouts and and Eclipse workspace, but whatever - and of course you
can use Eclipse's CVS/Team tools to good effect]

There are some tips and techniques that help maximize the effectiveness
of Eclipse in such circumstances. For specific questions I suggest you
come up on #java-gnome on GIMPnet. 

And, yes, we could probably use a page on the wiki about this.

Incidentally, if you're interested in developing the java-gnome bindings
themselves, I recommend you join the java-gnome-hackers mailing list
(-developers is targeted at discussions by and for people *using* the
bindings to develop applications).
