Just to throw something in: Vim has very good Java support simply by
piggy-backing on Eclipse, which can run headless and be controlled via
the command line.
http://eclim.org/
So basically, vim only needs to implement proper syntax-highlighting for
Java, and the rest (auto-completion, refactoring, project management) is
done by invoking the right command on the Eclipse side.
There's also an Emacs port of Eclim.

Not sure how well that works right now, but that might be a rather cheap
option to catch up on Java support in Emacs. The downside of this
approach is of course that you still need Eclipse...
Bye,
Tassilo
