IDE tools and Orion

Hi, I'm evaluating different tools for developing J2EE apps with Orion. So, I'm asking this excellent list which tools that supports Orion regarding deployment, debugging and so forth. I know that Kawa Enterprise 5.0 with SP1 do, but maybe there are other ones that work as fine as Kawa does
