Portal Development Tools

[foongkim]

Dear all, i am new to JBoss Portal. I am wondering in order for me to do Portlet coding, which IDE Is most ideal to do that?

Currently i am using Eclipse Europa to code my daily Servlet and web base application, but i couldn't find any plugin for portlet development. Thus, any ideas which is the best IDE should i use?

And at the mean time, is anyone able to share with me the standard directory structure of a standard Portlet application?

The problem i am having now is i am using web base environment to develop and when i need to test run it, i am using the production portal which is very time consuming.
