I haven't needed any IDE to date, if GNU Emacs does not count. I write C 
code for my living. Here are some commands that I use:

# check out the source code repository (only once)
svn checkout http://svn.parabola.me.uk/mkgmap/trunk mkgmap

cd mkgmap
#update to the newest revision
svn update
#apply some patch
patch < some_feature.patch
#revert all patches
svn revert -R
#recompile (produce mkgmap.jar)
ant dist

I hope that this helps.
