I assume that they only run on FreeBSD under > Linux emulation. No real comments on which IDEs are best (I've only had some indirect experience with VisualCafe, and it wasn't a good experience ;).

The only caveat was that you needed to install jpda.jar from the Blackdown JDK to get JBuilder running.
