My tool of choice for Java is however IntelliJ, which is simply light years ahead of Eclipse (IMHO).
I agree.
Eclipse seems to always become unstable once enough plugins are installed. After a few updates and removals it ends up tipping over regularly. I suspect the underlying OSGi plugin system is a tricky thing to get right.
Intellij IDEA seems to "just work".
That said, I prefer coding in Clojure with Aquamacs but I've yet to get Clojure into a production system.
Yoxos allows the creation of eclipse profile that make it easier to have stable eclipse.
If you have a lot of eclipse users, I think yoxos is the way to go.
But I still use IntelliJ at home :)
