Jonathan: If you're working off trunk (and 3x), btw, there's a *great* addition especially if you use IntelliJ (I haven't personally worked with the Eclipse, there's a target for that too). Just get the source. Go to the top level (e.g. apache-trunk). Execute "ant idea". Open IntelliJ and point it at the directory via "open project".
Go into project settings and set your compiler. Wait for Idea to finish indexing, etc. Run tests. Use ^N to find classes. Step through the code by debugging unit tests. Apart from the one trick of "opening project" on the folder rather than a cute little IntelliJ icon (select the root directory), the *only* thing you have to do is set your compiler. After having to spend *days* setting up the IDE on some projects this is a dream. Apart from getting the source and waiting for Idea to do its first-pass indexing, I can set up a new IDE instance in, maybe, 5 minutes. Sweet! And, BTW, the IntelliJ "community edition" is free and open-source now.
