Good question.
1) XMLBuddy is a must for XML. X-Men is very similiar, but I find it to
die in infinent loops quite a bit which is very annoying because you
have to kill off Eclipse.
2) Sysdeo Tomcat plugin, this is a must for Tomcat devel
3) MyEclipse IDE I'm finding definately filling the void of
JSP/Taglib/Servlet/J2EE development and its only $30/year and well worth it.
4) FormatJava is a very handy plugin that lets you execute the "Format
source" command on a package, not just an open file like Eclipse has
currently.
5) Visual Editor: This is new and a MUST HAVE if you are going to do GUI
devel. I would highest suggest wtaching the viewlet ahead of time
(~15mins) as it shows a lot of functionality you won't run across on
your own.
I thikn that is everything I have installed... something to note is that
if you use MyEclipse IDE, it has controls for deploying to a tomcat
installation, so the Sysdeo plugin may not be handy. I just use it
because I set my webapp up well before I ever installed MyEclipse IDE,
so I had everything working already.
Best,
