I've been running Xcode at the office, even though I'm doing pure Java development, solely because it's the only modern IDE I know particularly well. When I started my current job last summer, I wanted to get up and running quickly with the (unknown to me) codebase, and not waste a lot of time learning a new IDE (I spent a day setting up Eclipse, but didn't like the Subversion integration and some other UI elements).
Now that it's been ten months and I'm moving over to being a project lead (tomorrow!), I'v
IntelliJ is definitely the cream of the crop when talking about it and eclipse and netbeans... the problem is the latter two are free, but IntelliJ is hundreds of dollars...
I used to be a plain text editor guy, but eclipse has brought me around. It is over all a fantastic environment. Getting up and running is simple as importing your project, which works pretty well.
Some common short cuts which I use every day.
ctrl-shift-m -> import class (that the cursor is on) ctrl-shift-f -> format ctrl-space -> list members and methods (instead of doing this) f3 (on a function call) -> zoom to implementation (works great when you have the source for you depe
eclemma is probably what you are talking about witht he emma/junit.
I'm also a fan of 'findBugs' for statistical analysis and I use Q4E for Maven2 integration.
Also, 'extract method' is a great refactoring thing to know... and you can make it so saves automatically organize imports and format the code...

Anything for Java. Try them both, then just use vim and a makefile like a man.
