> NetBeans or any other IDE?  emacs?  vi??

I primarily use vi (who just called me a dinosaur?) when I know the code
and want to have a bunch of side-by-side windows open.

When I'm learning a new piece of functionality or writing code, it's
netbeans.  I usually compile with DEBUG_CLASSFILES=true, then set the
JDK library to my JDK7 build, point to the JDK sources (including
build/<arch>/gensrc), then use the debugger to see what's actually going
on in my JDK7 libraries.

In most cases, when I'm writing/debugging, I have both styles going.

P.S.  Emacs is the spawn of...[1]...oh never mind, James G. might be
reading this...  ;)

invitation to open a new battlefront here.
