[Eclipse | http://www.eclipse.org/] is an [OpenSource], [Java]-based, CrossPlatform [IDE]. There are a wide range of plugins for editing and compiling [JavaCC], [XML], [Schema], [C++], and properties files, amoungst others. Most plugins are developed, distributed and updated separately from the framework, which can take a bit of getting used to.

Though [Eclipse] can be and is meant to be used for a lot of things besides [Java], there are some excellent [Java]-centric plugins packaged with the main distribution, which integrate tightly with [Ant] and various [Java] [Compiler]s and [VirtualMachine]s. They're not perfectly CrossPlatform (projects checked into [CVS] from [Linux] may not work out of the box when checked out from [Windows], f.ex), but are getting close.
