I'll have a look at Eclipse

If you want to work for a corporation you'll need to know ant, gradle, Spring, or other such tools.  I just right click my project and select export as jar.  Tools can make things easier, particularly if you're on a team of developers (I've had some help here and there but I'm basically a one man team), but some tools can also restrict what you're able to do.  I like being able to customize every bit of code to do exactly what I had in mind.
