I have yet to see a development enviorment that supports java fully,
at a reasonable speed, without ballooning the source code.
JBuilders IDE's declares any bean as a public Object and make no
attempt of orginization in code. If you build an app from start to
finish with no removal of components then JBuilder works fine. However
its been my experience that you do need to remove/add components or
component listeners. Your code ends up looking like pea soup after a
while. Plus you start getting weird bugs like things not working
because the code has gotten so disorganized it no longer knows what
should go first. 
JBuilder does a job as well as anything else. But if your working in
Java, especially designing EJB's  I would suggest looking at a non-ide
tool also. Omnicore's CodeGuide has awesome on the fly source code
checking. With a tree view of the source at a fraction of the cost.
