Great, I'll try that...

I played around with NetBeans but couldn't find anything sufficient for the "open resource" functionality that exists in Eclipse, IntelliJ, etc. I found a plugin for it, but it's a bit different and doesn't seem to support arbitrary filename extensions, like .bsh and .ftl, for example. Not that I can figure out anyway. The code completion looks nice, and the XML editor even looks pretty good (I've been using Oxygen in Eclipse).

Oh well... I guess I'll play with it some more once my taxes are done. ;)
