I mostly use Emacs, but I sometimes use NetBeans, mostly for searching
for usages, or for refactoring (like renaming).

Indeed, making NetBeans indent to GNU conventions seems impossible.
I did manage to get Eclipse to do it, but I haven't used Eclipse much.

I have considered changing the Kawa coding style to match Sun's.
It would ease use of tools like NetBeans, and it would make my life
slightly easier when switching back and forth between Kawa and work-related
Java code.

It's one of those things where changing is always seems more hassle than
muddling through ...  If NetBeans could be made to have OK Scheme/Kawa 
support
(at least indentation and parenthesis matching for the editors, and compiler
integration with error message highlighting) that might be enough 
motivation to
switch.  Or perhaps Eclipse's SchemeWay is good enough?
