Ask HN: What Eclipse plugins do you use?

from the ask-hn dept.

Recently at work someone has suggested using the PMD plugin to analyse our code quality. I started to think about what other plugins people are using, that might also help our development process.

I'm using the Eclipse color theme plugin[1]. Changing the color theme from the default white to Zenburn made writing code for several hours easier on my eyes.

We use the pmd plugin more on our jenkins build side.

Personally I've been looking for a good vim emulation plugin, I'm trying out Viable right now. There's also a plugin I used to use that would not let you use the menu for anything that has a shortcut key, that was nice for getting used to eclipse.

I haven't tried PMD yet but recently come across 'findBugs' plugin and it seems to solve my current purpose. Other than that JavaDecompiler plugin sometimes comes in handy.

VRapper is fantastic! And I use the Scala plugin, of course.
