I've been an Emacs/Xemacs user for years, and  use that along with
Apache-Ant for most of my XML/Java work. The combination can handle any
project size, especially if you combine it with CVS. But every once in a
while I come up for air and look to see if there's a lean and mean
alternative to my simple but effective Emacs-Ant base. I hate bloated IDE's.

I tried Oxygen for the XML-FO and XSL stuff I do and I can recommend it. It
_is_ comparatively lean and mean and so far handles as large a project as I
can throw at it. For mega-projects I would go to Oxygen as an Eclipse
plugin.
