From what I heard, Java support is very good, but plugins for othr languages 
are more proof-of-concept implementations.

Anyway, the Java developers I know say it is the best currently available Java 
IDE, however the GTK2 based SWT is quite slow.
Someone (IIRC IBM themselves) has developed a SWT implementation based on Qt 
but won't release it ("licence issues")

Cheers,
Kevin
