IDE's don't matter if the resulting code won't run on the platform
where you want it.

I'm more of a system administrator that uses perl as much as possible
to avoid dealing with compiler quirks at all, but the java developers
here do use eclipse and I would recommend it - just not from personal
experience. The way it uses plugins makes it sort of a toolbox that
may need some custom setup for exactly the feature set you need,
though. If you have looked at it and thought it was missing
something, you may have just needed a different setup.
