If you need a free IDE to program Java, have a look at jGRASP. It supports UML-modelling, and Java 1.5 syntax (and other languages), source folding (as seen in the new Borland products and Visual Studio), auto documentation (via javadoc), and some other neat features. This is definitely something to check out if you don’t need a visual designer.
Or you could go with Netbeans, but unfortunately this free IDE has a visual designer 😉
