I'd also like to plug this -- IntelliJ is a better IDE than Eclipse, and getting it for free means I think there's every reason to use an IDE if you're still sticking with emacs, or strongly consider leaving Eclipse.
It makes it so easy to see and fix problems with imports, formatting, documentation, code redundancies and inefficiencies, and refactorings... just takes code quality to another level. I think people will see why I submit all sorts of micro-changes all over the code base, since IntelliJ is calling out all these minor issues at you continuously. I also think its model of projects and modules makes much more sense that Eclipse's workbench metaphor, which I honestly still do not understand at all. FWIW the large majority of Google engs use IntelliJ.
