FWIW, I switched from JBuilder to Eclipse several years ago, and could not be happier. I recall a few hours of frustration at the start, but I don't recall exactly what. Eclipse has a decent Emacs keystroke mode which is a requirement for me...

But basically: 1. JBuilder compiles some .java classes but fails to copy them to the WEB-INF/classes directory 2. Unpredictable behavior in copying other .class dependencies to the WEB-INF/classes diectory 3. Failing to recompile necessary files 4. Unable to deal with some jdk 1.5 features in jsp files 5. Excruciatitingly slow. "Verifying web module" takes five minutes. Subsequent compilation, 10 minutes. That's for about 150 .jsp files. 6. "Tab" does not align properly. 7. Insistence on breaking up long lines. 8. Cost 9. Forget the remaining reasons. > > > > > I'm back in Emacs and started learning Ant. I'm > > Have you considered Eclipse or Netbeans? Spent one day trying to figure out Eclipse, but then got impatient.
