You are missing one plugin called HTTP4E. It is an awesome tool for REST HTTP calls, it has tabs, syntax coloring, auto suggest.

Long story short if you want to run REST, SOAP, HTTP calls, tamper HTTP this is the tol for you. (Actually it is the only RESTful tool for Eclipse)

I have just installed Green UML editor and my first impression is that for a free tool it is well-integrated with Eclipse and has very reasonable functionality. It is just class diagram, but supports round trip engineering. There are a few rough edges, but they can be easily worked around and the program seems quite stable. Instructions for installing via the Eclipse interface can be found

You might consider adding Aptana to your list of plugins. Yes it can run as a standalone version of eclipse, but you can also install it as a plugin to an existing eclipse instance. It's extremely useful for web developers

One of the most truly useful plugins I've found is the Jar Class Finder from IBM Alphaworks. Just point at a directory, type in a class name and it searches all the jars,zip files,etc. It's really helpful for resolving ClassDefNotFound exceptions.

Dear Anon;

There is a link already at the end of the post, but that links contains hundreds of plugins for Eclipse.

These are the most used, or most popular ones that people uses.

Why didn't you just put a link to where you copied this from?

If you didn't just copied it, why does it include plugins that judging from the description duplicate standard behaviour (eg. pretty printer for java) or duplicate other plugin (e.g. the various UML tools) without any hint at what makes them different or usefull.

So a much too long list with not enough information
