I've been using Forte for Java (formerly NetBeans). Awesome IDE, integrated support for just about everything (JSP, Servlets, EJB, XML, CVS, Ant, CORBA, Jini, JNDI, JDBC, etc, etc) and has a very good editor (including code completion).
It also contains the most complete integration and extension api I have ever seen in an IDE. As if that weren't enough, they are releasing the source code for the core IDE under an open source license next month (May).
