NetBeans: This is an OpenSource IDE that I believe is bundled and downloadable from the Sun Java site. Has a hook to PointBase, didn't see anything to allow Derby or any other database.
There is. You can open the "Runtime" window, right-click on Database -> Drivers and select "Add Driver".
Negatives: No easy way to add in Derby.
For the NetBeans 5.0 beta (which is out now), there is a Derby module downloadable from the update center (Choose Tools -> Update Center).
