java development on a PowerBook

[Leon C. Webster]

I am a java developer who is thinking of "switching".  I would like to hear 
reports from other developers who develop on a Powerbook rather than on 
Windows (I work for a windows-centric client), or on Linux (which I 
currently run on an aging ThinkPad). 

Specifically, 

*what tools do you use?  Eclipse?  Intellij? something else?   How about 
J2EE frameworks and application servers (for development)?  Does anyone use 
BBEdit? 

When do you think the JDK 1.5 vill be available for the Mac?  What is the 
lag time between Windows Availability and  and Mac availability for JDKs? 

Thanks much.
