I would recommend that you try Netbeans instead of Forte cause it's updated
more often. It's a very good IDE, but I cant stand the debugger. Way to
complicated to use and shows a lot of irrelevant information (static final
fields for example). Of course the editor is not the same class as Emacs.
It seems like every time I try an IDE I still return to Emacs cause I get
things done much more quickly there. The only thing missing in Emacs/JDE is
a good debugger, but you can always run JSwat or Bugseeker besides your
Emacs session.
