Charles,

@RDP: it looks like Eclipse, but the most important features are missing. Especeally the complete Refactoring capabilities.

@layered Architecture: you would end up with SRVPGMs, to get some taste of OO, but RPG doesn't have Interfaces, Inheritance, Overloading and you can't controll instantiation of a SRVPGM, you will get only one, or it's short living.

@test driven development: RPG doesn't have tools supporting this, you would have to start with writing your own development tools.
