I have read a lot about ReSharper on here. It sounds like it has a lot of cool features to help the programmer out. Trouble is, I don't write C#.

Is there any tool that has similar functionality to ReSharper, but for Java instead?

Thank you!

http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/, a Java IDE made by Jetbrains, the Resharper creator.

It's not an addin to an IDE, but it is a excellent one. Most feature (if not all) that you can found in resharper are in IntelliJ.

I believe most Java IDEs already have it - I certainly view ReSharper as the tool which brings Visual Studio up to the level of Eclipse :)

Do you have any specific R# features in mind?

I'd consider IntelliJ to be a long way past Eclipse - JMO. I've used both, and it's no contest.

So I've been led to believe, but having tried IntelliJ a few times I haven't got "into" it yet. I gather it would be helpful to have a knowledgeable user next to me when using it... it just hasn't happened yet.

ReSharper brings VS to a level of IDEA which is higher than level of Eclipse, in my opinion.

If I recall it correctly resharper are just the extra features that Intellj (the jetbrains ide) has by default for java

Resharper was developed by JetBrains and is a port of IntelliJ functionality to C#

ReSharper is a Visual Studio tool, not a language tool. The closest equivalent would be IntelliJ IDEA, from the people who created ReSharper.

What ide do you use? I find Eclipse does a lot of what Resharper does.

Use IntelliJ IDEA an IDE from JetBrains - the creator of ReSharper. It's not "like resharper" - it's the original and resharper is like it for C#.

Use NetBeans IDE, this IDE has all functionality of the ReSharper and the most important, they are natively in the IDE.
