Java development

I'm looking for Java development tools.
I've been trained in Inprise's development tools such as C++ Builder, and Delphi.
So, I'm looking for a tool that follows those designs as closely as possible.
To be honest, I haven't checked their latest incarnations of Java. (The latest I have is JBuilder 2.0 standard, and I hate the UI, because it is different than Builder and Delphi.)
I'm also looking for opinions on who sells the best Java tool, and what they offer.
 
I've tried the folowings :
Inprise JBuilder 4.0 : Not bad, good for user interface building but with a locked resolution (use of a null layout and absolute positionnig of the controls). A little heavy and memory addict.
IBM WSAD 4.0 :good solution for corporate business but greedy (at least 256Mo RAM) and expensive (I don't care, my boss pays ;-)) for home use.
Kawa Pro V?.? : a little less greedy than the two others but with no user interface design tool provided.

Beware to choose well because almost all these tool add some code to the sources and it's difficult to change after. Water is not bad as soon as it stays out human body ;-)
