IntelliJ do the highly recommended (by others, I've not used it. Yet)
IDEA java editor. Amongst its other talents is a refactoring
capability, which you might find useful. The cost of 400 USD seems a
little steep for a personal user, but smug professional programmers on
mailing list look sniffily at those and mutter about contracting
rates. Besides, if it works as well it threatens, I might be
persuaded.

Eclipse has just reached version 2, and also can be plugged into
JBoss.

Undoubtedly, Nix will mention something about editing your .emacs file
to include something like

(add-hook 'java-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)

but who am I to utter this foolishness? :)

Cheers,
