Well, I tried some RAd tools:
SuperCEDE Standard: No RAD without it's propietary components, didn't
try it for more than 1 hr because of this
VisualAge Java: Cannot write complex programs with its RAD paradigm (the
connections), too slow, no RAD Swing support, good RMI wizard
VisualCafe DB Edition 2.5: That is real crap... it crashes every 5 min,
it is very slow, Swing doesn't work well, good DB support
JBuilder 2: A good IDE, not too many crashes (on my PC, others complain
about that it crashes very often), good (although not perfect) Swing
support, JBCL is a good lib, good DB support
PowerJ 2.0: Good IDE, JDK switching works well (1.1, 1.0), fast, nice
libraries, GUI editor is not so good...
VJ++: Well, no RAD tool, it's easy to mix up Java with native methods
(disadvantage! It sometimes happen that you do something and then find
it not to be Java compatible)

Well, I'm happy with JBuilder 2, it's the best IDE available for Java,
although its far away from perfect, it still crashes too often, the help
system is crap (although the help itself is quite good), quite speedy
(compared to others like VAJava), good wizards
