I agree with David. Originally we were using Netbeans, but quickly dropped it due to stability issues (java.lang.Exceptions right in the middle of editing a file, for example.) We switched over to Eclipse 1.0; this version had some odd behaviour at times, but didn't crash like Netbeans. Version 2 and now 2.1 of Eclipse is super stable; I'm often on it for 8 or 10 hours a day, and have never had a crash. Boot time is much faster than version 1. I'm not sure about the refresh time - do you mean you are running your Ant build script every time? We don't use the built-in Ant support (actually don't use Ant at all), but the compile time when we modify a resource is blindly fast. I've never had to wait on a project re-build - never.
+1 for Eclipse.
