I have read a lot about ReSharper on here. It sounds like it has a lot of cool features to help the programmer out. Trouble is, I don't write C#.
Is there any tool that has similar functionality to ReSharper, but for Java instead?
Thank you!

1don't know why jetbrains don't release a plugin for eclipse that provides all the intelliJ refactorings – Michael Wiles Jan 27 '11 at 12:58

Use IntelliJ IDEA an IDE from JetBrains - the creator of ReSharper. It's not "like resharper" - it's the original and resharper is like it for C#.

1The PO specifially asked for a tool like resharper, not another IDE. His requirements are to use the IDE he is comfortable with, but with all improvements and detections intellij systems provide. – Lucas Montenegro Carvalhaes May 13 '19 at 21:48

It seems like that was what he was looking for. In any case even an extension needs to run inside an IDE – Dror Helper May 22 '19 at 10:36

I believe most Java IDEs already have it - I certainly view ReSharper as the tool which brings Visual Studio up to the level of Eclipse :)
Do you have any specific R# features in mind?

14I'd consider IntelliJ to be a long way past Eclipse - JMO. I've used both, and it's no contest. – duffymo Mar 05 '09 at 18:12

So I've been led to believe, but having tried IntelliJ a few times I haven't got "into" it yet. I gather it would be helpful to have a knowledgeable user next to me when using it... it just hasn't happened yet. – Jon Skeet Mar 05 '09 at 23:18

4ReSharper brings VS to a level of IDEA which is higher than level of Eclipse, in my opinion. – Ray Aug 06 '09 at 12:26

@Jon, it seems the link to your blog is broken. I couldn't load it. The same for few other links to your blog in your other answers. – nawfal Jul 23 '14 at 22:57

1@nawfal: Yes, my blog is currently moving/down. I'm not sure whether we'll end up with the old links working - but I'll definitely have a different canonical address soonish. When that's sorted, I'll probably write something using the SO API to fetch all my answers, editing those that refer to the blog. – Jon Skeet Jul 24 '14 at 06:14

Use NetBeans IDE, this IDE has all functionality of the ReSharper and the most important, they are natively in the IDE.

http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/, a Java IDE made by Jetbrains, the Resharper creator.
It's not an addin to an IDE, but it is a excellent IDE itself. Most features (if not all) that you can found in ReSharper are in IntelliJ.

ReSharper is a Visual Studio tool, not a language tool. The closest equivalent would be IntelliJ IDEA, from the people who created ReSharper.

If I recall it correctly resharper are just the extra features that Intellj (the jetbrains ide) has by default for java
