Anyway, I like NetBeans but it misses a couple of very important things
for me:
* fully customizable code formatting

Jalopy :-)

Is there a plugin for it?

* customization of bean properties with prefixes (so that getters and
setters are correctly generated)

True, but generation of getters and setters is done using the
refactoring engine. (Geert has a blog entry explaining how to write your
own refactoring.)

I don't want to learn how to write your own refactoring engine just to say that all my member variables are prefixed with the 'm' character. Doesn't sound easy to me ;-)

It seems that NetBeans is really trying to get people to develop
plugins and they show an example of Wicket there. Maybe you an look
into creating a RIFE plugin ;-)

NetBeans works out of the box for me :-) But frankly, I don't see what
more a NetBeans plugin would do for RIFE development that it doesn't
already.

The most important parts for me are:
* highlighting of the template tags
* code hyper-linking in between different file type
  - click on a template name in the element -> go to the template
  - click on includes in a template -> go to the included template
  - click on the element declaration in the site structure
  - click on subsites
  - click on element implementations
* intelligent structure views
  - view all element declarations that use a particular implementation
  - template inclusion inheritance
* a bunch of very easy to use live templates

What do you think?
