Back in the java 1.4.2 days I used JDEE heavily. It was great. Since
then I haven't done much java programming. I know that JDEE wasn't
keeping up with 1.5 and 1.6, but then the project saw new life and I
would be willing to bet that it has been brought fully up to snuff.

I also used XRefactory. It now appears to be dead. While JDEE handled
the buffer mode and the keybindings for building, cleaning, etc.,
XRefactory handled completion and navigation through the codebase. I
believe that JDEE has been improved to handle these tasks.
