I live in Visual Studio with Resharper.

What free plug ins should I get for Eclipse to get me to the same level as I am used to in VS with Resharper.

I have found Eclipse to have many of the Resharper features built in, but don't want to be missing great productivity tools.

    Do you have any specific features you're looking for? – Tomas Aschan Jul 19 '10 at 14:39
  • Refactoring tools, though Eclipse seems fairly good as is, and tools to debug/visualize better. – Ian Vink Jul 21 '10 at 14:17

Eclipse indeed already ships with decent builtin refactoring and static code analysis capabilities. However, there are several plugins available which improves static code analysis, the popular ones being FindBugs and PMD. They will report about potential programming bugs. Further there's also a static code style checker plugin CheckStyle which will report about potential programming style flaws which may not necessarily lead to runtime errors, but rather to maintainability problems.
