This is a copy of the question : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2826/do-you-have-any-recommended-plugins-for-eclipse

But now is for netbeans (I'm not a eclipse lover. CTRL+TAB does not change pages.)

Please, I'm very curious.

    as of 2013, most of this is incorported into Netbeans and no longer requires a plugin (e.g., subversion, git) or is an optional installation item (php). jVi still is essential for vim users, and still works great; added link for [installing jVi via an update center](http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/38914/jvi-vi-vim-for-nb-7-0-update-center). – michael Feb 07 '13 at 00:14

The SQE plugin (which integrates FindBugs, PMD, and CheckStyle) is extremely useful.

The Path Tools plugin.

It adds four useful actions to Netbeans:

  • Copy Paths Action Copy the full paths of the files/folder of selected node to the clipboard.
  • Explore Action Launch the OS File Explorer
  • Shell On Path Action Launch the OS shell
  • Edit Action Launch the external editor

The webpage of the Path Tools plugin looks not very active, but it works in Netbeans 6.9.1 without problems (Works on My Machine).

Thats not a good reason to not love Eclipse, IMHO.

Anyways, there are plenty, it depends what are you working on. I am using

  • Spring, Spring MVC, Spring Webflow
  • JSF, ICEFaces and Visual
  • Subversion
  • Groovy Grails
  • C/C++
  • Hibernate
  • UML
  • PHP
  • Web Applications
  • JBoss
  • RESTful Webservices, SOA
  • Java Doc
  • Ant, Maven
  • Python
  • And few more, but these are notable.

I love the RegEx Plugin and I'm definitely installing the Twitter Integration plugin (http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=15661)

Enclojure is a good plug-in. Very nice integration of the Clojure dynamic language into the Netbeans environment (including a REPL right in Netbeans!).

Automatic Projects.

Build a project/"workspace" completely it's ANT file.

Much more maintainable.

Its a copy and paste plugin, i share my code a lot with people sometimes when i'm writing word docs and stuff i need to copy the colour of the code. It also also you to copy it as html and css to paste into a web page.

http://openjdk.java.net/tools/svc/jconsole/ is pretty good for monitoring your programs, provides a few cool features for monitoring in general
