I accidentally posted in this in another newsgroup - forgive the double
posting.

Is there an IDE for java development that compares well to VS2005? Since I'm
current using VS2005, I was hoping to find something familiar in the look
and layout.

Thanks

IntelliJ for Java is perhaps the best IDE ever produced for any language.

I have list of comparable IDEs here <http://ide.profectus.com.au>. Of
these, JBuilder is probably the closest in look and feel to Visual
Studio. However, I think that others in the list have a brighter
future than Borland products. My favourites are NetBeans and
JDeveloper.

JDeveloper is probably the closest you'll get.
Specifically because it gives you WYSIWYG design for your UI (it can be
Swing, JSF/JSP and even mobile).
And it also gives you easy data binding.
You can look at the demos and tutorials and download it from
