I tested subclipse, with 3.0 and 3.0.1, but it crashed so badly that I'm
not confident to rely my bread and butter on this tool. Once, during a
test, I was checking in a project (not very large, about 500 java files),
and the thing crashed so badly in the middle that it is impossible to
recover. The eclipse workspace and settings became so screwed up
that I can't avoid a error for every 3 clicks.

At the end, I had to do a clean re-install of Eclipse, and reconfigure
everything again. Lucky for me, I had my preferences backed up.
