Advice on setting up JEdit similar to IntelliJ IDEA

Hi All,
I did some searching around these forums and found only little bits and pieces of what I'm looking for, but nothing seemed all that conclusive to what I'm after so I figured I'd post a topic. If this has been answered elsewhere, I apologize for the repeat post and would hope you could point me in the right direction.
I currently work with Intellij IDEA (http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) on a regular day-to-day basis. However I am interested in also writing Java on OSX platform and IntelliJ has the uncanny ability to suck up a LOT of memory, (and is of course, rather on the high dollar end).
Considering there are dozens and dozens of plug-ins out there, I find it very difficult to find features that suit my needs directly. Many have descriptions that seem like they might do what I want and then after installing them I find that they lack one thing or another and I'm forced to go fishing for an alternative.
I really like how IntelliJ has code completion, code highlighting, an expandable directory tree for the project I'm working in, and the ability to set up ant build and tomcat such that I can compile with the click of a button.
Does anyone use any of the aformentioned features who may be able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
