Java Open Source IDE to compete with .NET

It appears Exadel will open source some of its products(Exadel Studio Pro, RichFaces, Ajax4JSF), and move them to the JBoss site for integration with the JBoss IDE, Seam, etc... Exadel Studio Pro will merge with JBoss IDE, RichFaces will become JBoss RichFaces and so on. We'll have to wait and see, as the JBoss IDE has been quite stagnant for the last 4 month or so.

Here is an interesting interview about this move, also some spicy comments, apparently there are some people who think just what they use is the best framework(see Ajax4JSF vs GWT).
