JBuilder predated Eclipse and was a lot more usable (IMHO); it came out 2 years after Java was released. It started out written in Delphi though, and only later transitioned to Swing. I think it's also a push to say Java was designed for GUI; AWT was very much a hack.

Some of my favorite IDEs are written in Delphi: LispIDE and Dev-C++.
