Tim Bray has an interesting note on IDE's, via Netbeans 4: Netbeans stores it's project info as an Ant build. This sounds like a cool concept. I wonder how many customized Ant tasks and property definitions there are though. Really, if there's more than 1 or 2, it kind of invalidates the coolness of it. It's like when Together (5 at least) puts those comments in your code.
