In last week eclipse team released version 3.1M4 of their IDE which (almost) fully supports new J2SE 5.0 features. There was also release of Eclipse WebTools Milestone 2 which of course works with Eclipse 3.1M4 :-) (there is also a small tutorial available)

I highly recommends playing with those -- annotations, generics, enums and others are just addictive :-> (I just can't wait for AJDT J2SE5.0 support; annotations and AOP are IMHO just a killer combination for medium/large projects)

One small tip for WebTools -- don't use spaces in your application server name; and if you share a project with others make sure they have configured J2EE runtime libraries with the same name. (or they will see a nice NPE after importing that project into workspace).
