The only plug-ins I use are the ones required to do my job like SoapUI, Maven and SVN. I'm wondering if maybe there are some plug-ins out there that might make my life easier. Are there any Eclipse plug-ins that you find invaluable?

A:
EclEmma for Code Coverage is my favorite (apart from my own plug-ins of course :-) )

I was looking for something like this but it didn't come up in my search....must be because of the slash in the title. Thanks!

I remembered coming across it earlier. Everything I would have mentioned had been said over there already.

I really like QuantumDB, especially on Linux, which has a shortage of decent GUI tools for DB work.
Also RunJettyRun makes running web apps a no-brainer.

PyDev is pretty awesome. Only works with the new version of Eclipse, though.

I'm using VisualVM for profiling and performance analysis of our java programs.

Is VisualVM available as Eclipse plugin? I would love to have it inside Eclipse!

Not really integration, but launcher at least: https://visualvm.dev.java.net/eclipse-launcher.html

Working with Visual Dataflex, the Visual DataFlex Tools for Eclipse plugin is a must!

Prevously I was using MyEclipse, but now I'm moving to Seam and I'm using JBoos Tools

ContextMenuPlugin makes the Windows Explorer context menu available when right-clicking on objects in navigator views, and on editor frames. It passes the clicked file or folder to the selected function.
This is especially valuable if you have useful Explorer extensions. I use this to invoke Tortoise CVS & SVN functions, to open a Command prompt in the corresponding directory, etc.

nWire. It's an innovative plugin for exploring Java code. It lets you navigate, search and visualize your code. It is completely addictive. There's a short demo on the nWire site.

StartExplorer can open files/folders in Explorer and cmd.exe, besides copying paths to the clipboard and other things I rarely use -- I use it to make Command windows all the time.

Cool, always bugged that this feature did not exist, but it does via plug-in.

(shameless plug) I like having FogBugz integrated into Eclipse :-)

Sure. You can try it for free in first 45 days. If you don't install a regkey, it will disable itself after this time.

Subversive I like better than Subclipse. It is nice to SVN integrated as a Team provider. I haven't used Subclipse in a while, but its probably a lot better than it used to be.

Not directly related to programming, but for documentation reasons I like the free version of XMind (Mindmapping tool) and TeXlipse (LaTeX environment, on Sourceforge, sorry, but could not post a second hyperlink) a lot.
I like some of the previously mentioned ones e.g. Findbugs.
And I second Jay R. that I'd rather use Subversive to Subclipse although Subclipse is easier to install (on the Mac at least).
