I presume you mean to look for a development environment ("IDE")?
I have used XEmacs with the JDE package to build some non-trivial Java
applications in the past. If you can live with emacsen, you should
certainly give JDE a shot. Along with Ant and JUnit, I was at least as
productive as my peers who were developing using the Sun IDE (Forte),
with the added advantage that I actually understood every little thing
I did ;-) However, I've used some version of Emacs for almost 10 or 12
years now, so I'm very familiar with emacs.
Having said that, Forte was far superior for browsing code. For
various reasons, I could not use the oo-browser package with emacs on
this project. However, oobr is really pretty good for class
browsing. I have used it on large C++ code bases with XEmacs in
1995-97, and it used to work great. The only shortcoming was it would
not rebuild it's database on-the-fly as you edited files as a good OO
IDE does.
JDE is included in XEmacs. If you are running Emacs you will need to
install the 'jde' package. The oo-browser is available as the package
'oo-browsers'.
If you don't know what Emacs is, beware. It is more of a religon or
cult than an editor, an operating system masquerading as an editor,
and so on, so don't blame me if I got you started on ti.
Cheers!
