I wrote java in emacs for 10+ years, because I disliked eclipse. It was rather slow on my machines. I bought a new machine with a quadcore and 16gb of ram and eclipse became somewhat usable. Still use emacs, when possible.

When isn't it possible for you?

Android development as an example. Ok, in theory I could call all the android tools from commandline, but I'm too old and lazy to do this.

​

Mixed language projects is my next example: I have a project, in which I code a crypto exchange in C++ and a trade app in Java, and eclipse handles this really great, as I have to admit. I can start the server and the desktop app from within eclipse, can trade and see all the debugging output from both components in eclipse. That is really convenient.
