NetBeans IDE
NetBeans is a cross-platform IDE written in Java. It supports development in Java, and support for other languages can be added. The whole IDE is built around a core framework with APIs, and features are implemented in the form of plugin modules. This clean, modular architecture makes NetBeans a good platform for building development tools and custom IDEs.

Sun has open sourced Netbeans. It is now a community-based project operating out of the netbeans.org domain. The license is SPL which is MPL rebranded with Sun's name instead of Mozilla. Now we get to peek inside at the IDE and improve it. hehehehe.
