Yeah, I moved much of my Java development to Eclipse as well.  The
refactoring, incremental compilation, etc, are nice enough that it
outweighs how sucky the Eclipse editor is.

There's no intrinsic reason that the Eclipse JDT stuff could not be
wedded to Emacs.  However nobody has done the work :(.  As a proof of
concept though, you could look at "eclim", which is more or less
Eclipse attached to vim.

I haven't tried CEDET yet.  Maybe it is great :).  But it is hard to
believe it is as nice as Eclipse, after all Eclipse does code
generation for you, not just indexing.
