Let's see...

KDevelop has:
- a kick-ass editor named Katepart
- a class tree that also works for Java code
- one Java project template that fits for your purposes

KDevelop doesn't have:
- Java code completion
- A graphical project manager for Ant-based projects
- as a consequence, no build support, you need the terminal for that
- a Java debugger.

In general, I wouldn't recommend KDevelop for Java programming, but if your 
projects are small enough you might like it better than Eclipse nevertheless, 
if you don't need all the big features and cruft that it offers.

It's your decision what's more important to you:
clean, quick and simple (KDevelop) or featureful and complex (Eclipse).
Can't help you further with that.
