I use Eclipse for my day job, working on a enterprise java project. Here are some things I got used to working with Eclipse,

Most of the coding are done to interfaces and concrete classes are wired using factories or using spring dependency injection like,
```
InterfaceName obj=ObjFactory.getImpl(args)
```
I have to look at Class hierarchy often to go to the method that is being invoked, this is very easy in Eclipse (C+T)
Code completion for all methods (methods in different source files and from jars).
Highlight errors while editing.
Tracing call hierarchy

I tried Emacs some time back for shell scripting on a remote machine and I found that to be very useful. I would love to use Emacs for my java development if there are tools out there which can help me do things that I do with Eclipse. Any suggestions?

Check out [eclim](http://eclim.org/) which provides useful Eclipse features for Emacs and VIM using Eclipse itself. – Tom Feb 15 '12 at 17:50
eclim seems to be a nice fit. I will give it a try when I find some time. – tutysara Feb 15 '12 at 18:22

Unfortunately, the question is off-topic on [so], useful though. – Bleeding Fingers Nov 02 '14 at 00:44
