When using IntelliJ IDEA is not an option…
This is a list of some useful Eclipse plugins that I tend to use when I’m working in a JavaEE environment.
- Eclipse Fullscreen :
Allows Eclipse to run on a fullscreen mode toggled by the Ctrl+Z shortcut.

- Eclipse GrepConsole :
Applies styles to the Console output (regex based). Come with a defined set of style based on (WARN, INFO, FATAL).

- Atlassian Connector for Eclipse :
Gives the possibility to view, edit, manage Jira tickets inside Eclipse.
Requires Mylyn to be installed.
