If you are willing to use a GUI, I would recommend using eclipse (www.eclipse.org) for doing the java development. It comes with the support for multiple windows, project management, different source and output folders, creating jars, terminal output from running process, syntax hilighting, code completion, and auto-compilation. For doing straight Java stuff you can't ask for better.

Only problem is that it doesn't run from the command-line.. Sorry..

I've beening using emacs for java programming the last couple weeks and
like being able to open multiple windows at once. I recently started
using gedit mostly because it has a plugin the let's me embed a terminal
window in the bottom pane that I can use for compiling/running reading
error messages ect. but it drives me crazy that there's no key board
shortcut to switch between the terminal and the editor window, and I
can't open something in the editor from the terminal. Is there a way to
do this or another editor that can work this way?
