I work at basically a J2EE shop were we have made Ant our standard buildscript for every project. It cuts down on a development time waiting for your application to deploy.
Intellij IDEA the best IDE I've used. After trying JBuilder, VisualCafe, and Netbeans I think IDEA beats them all hands down. Its integration with CVS and Ant is incredible, and it has more time saving short-cuts (they really work) than I ever thought imaginable.
