Sorry for top posting but: Lock down to ANSI class libs and we save a lot of headaches. It's the vendor-specific class libs that bite you.

Eclipse I know.  I'm using it for J2EE and GWT work right now.  Have
it installed at work and at home.  I haven't gotten into UML before,
but there must be plugins for Eclipse.  Once the model is done in
UML, can some of the initial code be auto-generated?

Yep.  Class and method definitions, possibly more detailed code.  Some
tools advertise "round-trip engineering" where you're supposed to be able to generate code from the UML, hack it, then pull it back in and
be able to manipulate it at the UML level.  Never seen it work properly
even in very pricey tools.

I've not had a lot of confidence in the design tools past the initial
design process.  They try to be things you can use throughout the life-cycle,
but mostly they're a hassle.
I've heard that a lot of people do it that way, abandon the design
tools after the initial coding is done.

We did at work.  The initial design was very heavy on the UML and design tools,
but that was dropped very, very soon after the first prototype.
