JIRA issues linking in IDEA 7 change view
Matt Ryall, Confluence Developer talks about JIRADecember 6, 2007
Aside from a small but vocal contingent of Eclipse users1, the majority of Atlassian developers use IntelliJ IDEA as their IDE of choice.
I'm not sure whether this is a new feature in IDEA 7, but it's pretty cool: automatic linking of JIRA issues in version control commit messages back to the JIRA instance of your choice.
I also love the new incoming changes view, where the JIRA links appear. It gives me an excellent summary of changes happening to the code by other developers, letting me review the other changes before merging.
Configure it in your project's Version Control tab
Issues hyperlinked to JIRA in remote repository view and other version control screens

Anton, I don't think there is a “best� IDE. Look at the feature-set of each, give some of them a trial-run, and see what suits you best.

Oh, Netbeans 6.0 is a way better than Eclipse. Please compare Netbeans 6.0 with IDEA
