Eclipse Plugins

This is just a note to my self of what Eclipse plugins I’ll use. This list may, however, also be useful to you.

  • Subclipse: Subversion support
  • MercurialEclipse: Mercurial support
  • ExploreFS: This plugin allows you to open a file in Windows Explorer/Finder through the context menu.
  • CheckStyle: This plugins allows you define more precise rules for your code style. If a rule is violated, a warning is issued.
  • TestNG: Unit testing framework (much like JUnit)

To see what plugins have already been installed, go to Help –> Install new software… and click on What is already installed? at the bottom of the dialog.
