1. Do you use Linux to develop Java? If so what distro and JDK
version?

Yes. Fedora 7 (8 coming here soon). JDK 6, Sun's, usually. Also keep Java 5
and an IBM JVM around for certain needs.

2. Do you use FreeBSD to develop Java? If so what version (i386 or
amd64?) and what JDK version? Do you use JavaVMWrapper from ports?

No.

3. Do you use Windows (XP or Vista) to develop Java? If so what
version and what version of the JDK?

Sometimes. XP. Sun Java 6.

4. Do you use Eclipse? If so what version and on what OS's?

Sometimes. "Europa", WSAD and Rational Application Developer (RAD).

5. Do you use NetBeans? If so what version on what OS's?

NB 6 on Linux and Windows.

6. Do you use command line based Java development? If so on what OS's
and what command shell do you use?

Yes - for builds that should go to someone else. Fedora 7, bash, and Windows
XP, bash.

You should ask about version control, too.
