I also use Eclipse a great deal, but I *must* use emacs for serious source editing. I hit F5 (refresh files) a thousand times a day. There was a plugin that connected Emacs to Eclipse using beanshell and JDE, but it is not compatible with the latest Eclipse.

About the fonts, I started using JMK fonts in Emacs and though they are not anti-aliased, they did improve the appearance considerably.

alias emacs='emacs-snapshot-gtk -fn -jmk-neep-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 -bg white -fg black'

p.s. i always edit my .emacs using VIM :-)

Note that Debian's xfonts-jmk package includes ISO-10646-1 variants for 6x13, 8x15 and 10x20. This was done by glomming the similarly sized ISO-10646-1 "misc" fonts onto the original definitions. (The changelog also mentions some other tweaks.)
