 Just choose the IDE that is the least frustrating to you and start coding. It might be more productive to just choose and use any IDE rather than spending several days choosing one.

 Just give the most commonly recommended IDEs a try and see if you like any of them.

IntelliJ IDEA just owns so hard. squee.

For just banging out code its the fastest, and the autocomplete is tits. The code styling customization was easy to figure out. Also, if you don't want to stare at big white screen all day the Darcula theme is a lot better (my opinion) than what Netbeans has to offer.

Do you happen to use Maven for your build-system?
