You're probably aware that I've been evaluating IDEs recently. I finally wound up deciding that Netbeans 3.4 suited my needs/wants more closely than any other IDE. Yes, you're kind of locked in to whatever Tomcat installation they packaged with it, but, other than that, it's really nice. That, plus a locally (in my user directory) installed TC 4.1.19 (the beta2) with a browser (Mozilla kicks!) having a tab opened to the admin and a tab opened to the manager works super. I ... would like to see better support for other Tomcat versions in Netbeans, but, overall, I find it very satisfactory.
One of the biggest things I disliked was the fact that you can't specify a heirarchy as a "source heirarchy" - and can't specify where it would compile to. I get around this using a (very) simple ant script. Overall, I really think Netbeans is the ideal web-app IDE. Yes, it's missing some nice features of the other IDEs, but ... it doesn't bother me too bad. I may try Sun ONE Studio again once they've got Netbeans 3.4 under it ... but the previous version (bundled with JDK 1.4) was an absolute beast - and had many problems on my machine.
