We've been using Sun's Forte 3.0 - Community Edition 
(http://forte.sun.com) which is based on the Open Source NetBeans 
project (www.netbeans.org).  Same features under both Linux (Redhat 7.2) 
and Windows so our developers have a choice...and it's been a good way 
to get some of them introduced to Linux.

I've heard that the latest Forte 4.0 release had some install problems 
on non-Redhat linux distros, but I haven't tried it myself.  Overall, 
we've been pretty pleased with it compared to other commercial IDE's 
like VisualAge.
