I've recently started writing some performance tests in The Grinder 3, and one of the first things I noticed is that PyCheckMate doesn't work because it can't find some of the imports. Which editor(s) provide the best support for Jython?

As a long-time fan of the Eclipse IDE, I've used the Pydev plugin when working with Python and Jython projects.
You get code completion, syntax highlighting, refactoring, outline view, debugging tools, and all the other features you'd expect out of a top-notch editor.

Is there a way to use it on individual files that aren't necessarily part of a PyDev project? Creating a new Eclipse project for a 1-module script is a bit overkill.

As David Mentioned Pydev and even though it is a well developed piece of software I can't stand eclipse. Thankfully there are other choices. The latest version of Netbeans has jython / python www.netbeans.org and Komodo from activestate either the IDE or the free komodo edit
and pretty much any editor that supports python will give you some level of support for it but as far as a IDE built and designed for Jython... I think netbeans comes the closest otherwise the only reason to use the bloated behemoth called eclipse is because of pydev.
