Emacs *is* pretty user-friendly these days, IMHO (esp. on an X
terminal with all those nice pull-down menus ;-)).  So, If it's a Java
IDE you're after, you can't go past JDE (the Java Development
Environment):

 http://sunsite.auc.dk/jde/

Here's a partial list of some of things it does (it's all GPL, and I
have no connection to the author, Btw):

       JDE menu with compile, run, debug, build, browse, 
         project, and help commands 
       syntax coloring 
       auto indentation 
       compile error to source links 
       source-level debugging 
       source code browsing 
       make file support 
       automatic code generation 
       Java source interpreter (Pat Neimeyer's BeanShell) 

Emacs is still the best, most powerful and customizable editor for
programming around, and with the new customization group interface,
you can do just about everything without having to write a single line
of Emacs Lisp (which is probably the only reason it's sometimes viewed
as non "user friendly").

Give it another shot.
