There are several Java development programs for Mac. I suppose which one you want to use is a matter of taste. Apple's own Project Builder includes support for Java. Another popular IDE is NetBeans.

I recommend NetBeans.
My team uses the Sun productized version of NetBeans called Sun One Studio Enterprise Edition on OS X.

Here is a short list of Java IDE's also have a look at the http://www.oreillynet.com/mac/ there is a good article on Mac IDE's for Java.
Search http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/index.shtml to get your copy.
BlueJ - freeware - mid weight IDE
jEdit - shareware - light weight IDE
idea - commercial - heavy weight IDE
JBuilder - commercial - heavy weight IDE
JJEdit - free - open source - mid weight IDE
netbeans - free - open source - heavy weight IDE
SunOneStudio - free -open source - heavy weight IDE
I recommend jEdit if you are a beginner or netbeans if you are more advanced.

Eclipse is very nice. It's free as in speech and beer. It's also backed by industry heavyweights, IBM, Borland, Rational, and Togethersoft.
It integrates very well with jUnit, a very popular testing framework. It also makes refactoring a breeze, does incremental compiling so you can see errors in code as you make them, and provides "Coded Assist", which is something akin to Microsoft's "Intellisense".
It uses native widgets for its interface. Out of the solutions others have presented, only Project Builder does.
Get it here.

Well, it was extremely difficult to find a Mac OS X build of Eclipse, but I eventually did - only 2.1 Milestone 1 (not 2, the latest release) is available. Downloading it now; will see if it lives up to the hype.

Eclipse's Mac port is still in the 'experimental' stage though, isn't it?

I don't recommed Eclipse or using SWT.
I think IBM should be ashamed of itself for going off in the weeds.
The JCP is what makes Java grow. Anything that undermines that effort should be avoided.
The fact that you have to "port" anything other than the JVM itself is a sure indicator that something is wrong.
Make mine 100% pure Java.
