IntelliJ IDEA is the best IDE for Java that I've used. The code completion and refactoring are incredible, especialy the automatic package import. Large feature list, features that actually work and work well. Project setup is simple and unobtrusive and does not force a bunch of configuration files into the codebase. Ant integration is also helpful. I switched after trying Jbuilder and VisualCafe. I was never an IDE fan before this product. (I am still a bit of an EditPlus fan)
I am especially fond of highlighting a block of code and choosing "suround with->try/catch" to auto generate a catch statement for each checked exception generated by that code. very nice.
