I've tried to avoid getting sucked in, but here I go... Isn't IntelliJ a commercial product? From what I can work out form their web site, it's a $500 licence for version 3.0 (cheaper if you qualify for an academic licence). Eclipse is free.
One thing that Eclipse does lack (surprisingly) is support for XML (although the XMLBuddy plug-in does an OK job), and J2EE. Having said that, most of my development work is done with XDoclet, so the lack of J2EE support is not a big issue. The thing that really makes Eclipse appeal to me is that it integrates with CVS and ClearCase (among others), so I can check in/out within the environment, has various SQL plug-ins so I can work with the db, JBoss IDE so I can start/stop/ debug into my app server, etc. Dan.
