I worked on a relatively large Java project and I didn't face any big problems with it. The two main things that I used are automatic compilation and smart auto completion. the automatic compilation is a little slow. Almost as slow as it is in Eclipse. Probably, because it still uses Eclipse engine behind the scenes. Auto completion works fine until the list gets big then it starts to act a little slow too. I think that you should give it a try yourself. It really did save me a lot of time and it was cool. Looking forward to hear your feedback. Peter,

Are you still using it for java coding, I am sick of large slow ides and am seriously considering a switch. Thanks.
