For java a couple of interesting packages are ensime which is really for 
scala but it works for java. And emacs-eclim which is more like 
integrating eclipse into emacs than the other way around.

The way I work is I use the ide and emacs at the same time. For 
debugging and some other activities and very minor editing, I use the 
ide (eclipse or intellij idea). As soon as I have to do significant 
editing, my hands go on strike and say I'm not going to type one more 
line and I'm forced to switch back to emacs.
