IntelliJ. It is nice to your CPU but it will eat your memory.

I use Eclipse 3.3 (Europa).

When I fire up Eclipse, I see that once the initial start up is done,
"top" doesn't show either the Eclipse executable, nor the Java.exe which
 is used to run it.

However, you could also consider Netbeans 5.5.1  I believe you can
install it from Synaptic.

WARNING: IntelliJ is not free. (As in speech or as in beer.)

Nice try with the giving sneaky advice to try to eventually sell
something Sideswipe. :P

Samir, I assume you don't want everyone sticking their hands in your
pocket. Try nicing Eclipse, and if that isn't good enough, Netbeans is
the other FOSS Java-oriented IDE and might be suitable.

That may be a bad assumption.  Some people are willing to pay for higher
quality.  (Why pay for a room at that hotel , when you can sleep in the
doorway for free?)

Eclipse is *hardly* "sleeping in the doorway", or even at a run-down
motel. It *might* be a four-star hotel versus IntelliJ's five. And one
thing both you and the original peddler of commercial software
apparently failed to note is the "... for Linux" in the Subject:
header. :P Even if that expensive thing has a Linux port, Linux users
are generally looking for open source software in vast preference to
anything else, and frequently to the outright exclusion of anything
else.

I exaggerated for effect.  CVS vs. Perforce, on the other hand ....

You mean Linux users will pay for games[1], but not for tools to let them
work more efficiently?  Sounds daft to me.

Why do you think that everyone who's anyone uses SVN now? ;)

Becuase they're cheap.  From Wikipedia:

   Subversion currently lacks proper repository administration and
management tools. That is,
   while it is very capable when data is added to the repository, it is
much less capable at managing
   the repository as a whole. For instance, it is sometimes necessary to
make permanent edits to the
   repository to change the structure in which versions are held or to
permanently remove data that
   was checked into the repository in error. Subversion does not have tools
which allow this to be done.
   The check-in level tools allow files and directories to be moved or
deleted but earlier revisions will
   always hold the data in the old structure or hold the file that was
deleted. The current solution to this
   sort of problem involves 'dumping' the repository, editing the resulting
(possibly large) text file, and
   then recreating the repository. For simple renaming or removal of files
this is fairly straight-forward,
   but other alterations can be more complex and hence error-prone.

Seems sensible to me. If Railroad Tycoon fails it is unlikely to cause
much grief. If a tool fails it could seriously affect a project.
Access to the source code usually enables a quick fix or workaround.

Not to mention that a closed source tool easily has open source
equivalents. A closed source game generally won't have open source
equivalents. An open source railroad game may exist but it won't be
entirely a substitute for Railroad Tycoon, for example. An open source
first-person shooter isn't going to be an exact replacement for Quake
4, and so forth.

Games are one area where closed source can still admittedly compete.
