It's kinda dead, though I think Paul Landes is trying to revive it.
Pray for him. :)

Kinda

Kinda. Sorta.

No, probably not. Not now. It doesn't support 1.5 things like generics
and static imports.

Yeah, I hear you, brother.
I use Emacs for Java development, limping along mostly with JTags and
locate (mdfind on osx) and occasinally (but rarely) jdibug. JTags does
most everything I ever counted on JDEE to do, so it may be enough for
you.

Unless you *really* love Emacs and *really* hate Eclipse, you should use
Eclipse for Java development.
I should also mention malamar-mode, and he just committed some stuff
today, so perhaps it's coming along nicely. I like the direction he's
heading, so check it out.
Good luck!
