Eclipse Goodies. Jeff Duska has some good links for Eclipse plug-ins. I use Jalopy (love it) and have Solareclipse installed (I use HomeSite/Dreamweaver for JSP editing). I will be downloading and installing the others today, just because.

  • Jalopy for Eclipse
    This works much better than the built in formatter in Eclipse 2.0
  • The Tomcat Plug-in
    If you do anything with Tomcat you'll want to have this. Make sure you have the latest update
  • CheckStyle
    Even you don't care for the the powerful tools to enforce name conventions -- get this for the cool TODO feature
  • Solareclipse
    Adds code code highlighting for JSP, HTML and more...
  • CompleteClipse
    The new statement completion that will part of 2.1 setup as a plug-in to work with 2.0. Provide automatic parameter selection... very nice!

I've also heard of XML Buddy, but have never been able to download it. I click "I Agree" on the download back, and "doh!" I end up back at their homepage. Sounds like a website bug to me. If anyone knows of an alternative link, let me know.

The whole can of worms! In my search for some more Eclipse plug-ins, I found a list of 126 plugins. I'll be bookmarking this page. This site is very nice in that it shows user's comments about plug-ins. I even noticed someone had my same XMLBuddy comment. No workaround response though. :( Posted in General at Sep 02 2002, 01:59:38 AM MDT Add a Comment
