"Usable" is a fairly subjective term. Seeing how far QtCreator is still behind Eclipse for non-Qt development after years of work put into it...
Actually Eclipse uses its own toolkit different from AWT, so you'll have to port even more stuff. (although I think someone started doing it, can't recall who)Ingo started porting SWT, but abondoned the effort after realizing that our Interface Kit needs too much work.
FWIW, I just abandoned the Haiku native port. Instead I started a port to Qt (though haven't had the time to work on it for months). Given that a current Qt port seems to be coming along well (kudos to 3deyes!) an SWT Qt port would immediately help Haiku as well.
Thinking of Java-based IDEs, NetBeans should already work, no? CU, Ingo
