I've not had any experience with JBuilder so I can't speak to it. However I 
have been using WSAD for the past few months.

We have two developers who split the application basically in half. One does 
the presentation layer and the other the model layer. We built a prototype 
of the application and from that an initial struts-config.xml file. Using 
the config file the presentation developer builds the pages and all 
necessary struts components. Meanwhile the model developer builds a business 
object that returns dummy data. This gives the presentation developer 
something to target. Then the model developer completes the SQL necessary 
for this object and tests it using various homegrown test classes. Once it 
is working the dummy data is removed the actual database methods are put 
into place.

So far this parallel development "method" is working. Overlap between the 
two developers is minimized easing conflicts in source control. By having 
dummy data ready almost at once the presentation developer can work without 
waiting for the model to be completed.

As for WSAD... it is large, cumbersome, slow, memory intensive, and 
occasionally pretty cool.

Hope this was helpful,
