Holly smokes! It is faster. IDEA loads in half the time, but more importantly every single font works, and menus don't disappear, and menu items change fonts like they're supposed to. Compiling is much faster too, and the funky font stuff is all gone including the code layout stuff.
Thanks for the tip. This is nice. I think I will still use JDK 1.3.1_03 and JDK 1.4 for development, but definitely run my various java apps like IDEA using the IBM JDK. Heck even Limewire is better.
