I have to agree with tonanbarbarian eclipse is a good IDE for CI development on windows. If you are looking for an editor you can check out komodo edit or jedit or the old trusted vim.

There are multiple threads about what to use but i guess everyone has his own taste so you should try out some IDEs and editors before you settle with one.
