My jaws dropped when I saw these: http://blog.palantirtech.com/2008/07/04/palantir-screenshots...

I never realised that so much could be done with Swing.

Interesting to note that two "amazing" apps written with Java are to help Java programmers ...

Why is that interesting? Emacs uses a lisp; does that mean anything about emacs or lisp? (Edit: I'm being serious, I guess I don't see why Java being used to write Java editors is a big deal.)

To characterize both exclusively as tools to help java programmers shows that you haven't investigated either very much.
