I have been programming for a long time in BlueJ and get used to some of stupid, yet useful things it has, like boxing the code between brackets, like in the code seen here:
Do you know of any IDE or plugin for it that can do this? BlueJ is too simple for my needs and it only allows to program in Java.
I started programming this year too, also with BlueJ. After a few months we switched to Netbeans and I had exactly the same question as you.
When I look at your screenshot now, I don't like it at all anymore... I suggest you just start using Netbeans, make some programs and once you're used to it, you won't need those colours. In fact, I wouldn't want them anymore now.
I know I'm not answering your question, but just leave BlueJ. ;)
Between Brackets do you mean { } boxes?
Because personally I use komodo as a basic text editor as it has auto complete functions along with block programming the { ].
you can use Shift + Alt + arrow_up but many people dont realize you can just double click the delimiter (like a bracket) and it will highlight the entire scope. Try double clicking your if statements bracket for example and watch eclipse highlight the entire scope.

I am looking for a modern, highly usable, single package IDE/wrapper for Eclipse (if such things exist). Something that would provide a wrapper to Eclipse and add some style, a nicer interface, better code highlighting, etc. Any suggestions?
Edit:
-Java
-Looking for a nicer "prettier" IDE with more visual features and code completions, etc.
-Should be able to install it on a live Eclipse install
Eclipse is one of the best IDEs in terms of code completion and refactoring features. If your concerns are mainly style, you can customize syntax coloring using the Preferences > Java > Editor > Syntax Coloring menu. Or check out color themes here.
If you want a different skin for Eclipse you could try here. There are also code visualization plugins and style warnings, but you need to be specific about what you want.
I'm not sure if it's going to give you everything you're asking for, but there is STS.
Aptana is pretty good, www.aptana.com

When I first learned to program I learned to do so with an IDE, and that has stuck with me until recently. The last few months I have been using gedit for a web based project and while the project turned out quite well (check it out here), I felt like gedit didn't provide anything extraordinarily useful. As of now, my two favourite IDE's are Eclipse and Qt Creator. On my laptop (a Zenbook running Ubuntu) Qt Creator starts in one second and Eclipse starts in five, so performance is not an issue. So what would I lose from switching to VIM and what could I gain?
It's not about how fast it starts, although it does indeed start faster. It's about how fast you can edit. By never taking your hands off the keyboard you gain huge amounts of speed and priceless inner peace. You also step into the wonderful world of command line bliss. Things are literally black and white (well, if you wanted them to be). It makes life simple... efficient... fun. Once you go mouseless you never go back.

I basically want to convert a text file to pdf and other formats. So i am thinking if i could first convert it into LaTEX then i can go ahead with pdf conversion. Is this feasible?
As you say that you are familiar with LaTeX, you know that there are only a few special characters. Aside from that, regular text and LaTeX markup are very similar; it isn't until you get to formatting and figures and math that it gets more involved. That said it wouldn't take much to setup a few regular expressions to escape the incoming text.
Edit:
It would seem that someone has already made such a module: TeX::Encode. Going to try it out myself too. There is a dependency problem, you must manually install Test::Pod::Coverage before you can install TeX::Encode; yes that is embarrassing.

Can anyone share his experience working with go in one of the three java IDE giants -I mean eclipse, netbeans and JIdea
--
there's a similar question here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1737098/is-there-an-ide-for-go but I think it's a little outdated, almost a year ago...
There is a page at http://go-lang.cat-v.org/text-editors/ which describes methods for getting various text editors and IDEs, including Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA, to play nicely with Go. Both GEdit and Vim have decent support, having defined methods for integration with GoCode, a code completion daemon, and syntax highlighting.
There's this: http://code.google.com/p/goclipse/, but it's in the alpha stages of development. Could do with a little bit of love.
Vim, Emacs or LiteIDE http://code.google.com/p/golangide/

What are the good "rich" IDEs for Lisp? To clarify by "rich" I mean it should have a good look-up reference, auto complete, auto inclusion, checking of various sorts, some kind of compilation support, version management, REPL, etc. I have reviewed some of the previous questions/answers (Such as What’s a good Common Lisp implementation for Windows?) but it really does not get to my need/question. I am used to Eclipse and have found (CUSP but activity/support seems light).
Don't hassle me about the phrase "rich" IDE, by saying that emacs or slime is wonderful and that it is and IDE. I have used emacs for years during college, I understand. I am wondering what else is out there (and good) more along the Visual Studio, Netbeans, or Eclipse, type UI and feature set?
Lispworks.
A friend of mine bought a copy himself to develop Lisp programs in his sparse time. (He is very experienced in Lisp)
Lispworks also has a free personal edition.
Hm, strange seeing you dismiss Emacs+Slime as it covers most (all?) the points you've mentioned and a lot more. Note that Slime != Emacs, at all.
edit: E.g., stuff like CUSP or Lispworks are not as rich as Emacs+Slime.
CUSP
I have not actually tried it but MCLIDE sounds nice. But I concur with most other: SLIME is great.
