Plugin | Purpose |
---|---|
Eclipse Tomcat Plugin | One click launch for recent versions of Tomcat. (This is the successor to Sysdeo and Mongrel) Problem/resolution I got an error Unable to read repository at http://tomcatplugin.sf.net/update/content.xml. Received fatal alert: handshake_failure. I got hit by these known issues. I had to do a few things here:
|
EclEmma | Code coverage (I’m pretty sure this was already installed and I didn’t need to). I did need to close and re-open the Coverage view in my workspace. 9/3/17 – Confirmed it was already installed. I needed to install clean on a WIndows 10 box so saw it was on there. |
SonarLint | I installed SonarLint last year and quickly came to rely on it. It gives you static analysis findings in Eclipse. I also included the SonarLint Java Configuration Helper so it can see the version of Java I am using. (I”m on Java 8 right now so this is redundant at the moment. But I’m ready for when Java 9 comes out.) I stopped installing PMD and FindBugs. I’m using SonarLint instead. |
Subversive | To access Subversion repositories Problem/Workaround Eclipse failed/closed the pop-up when I tried to install a connector. This happened regardless of whether I choose SvnKit or JavaHL I can reproduce the same problem in a clean workspace. There’s no message in the log from that attempt. Others have reported this issue online with the SVN connector, but no resolution yet. I tried installing Subclipse instead. That worked. I had to re-checkout the projects since they were associated through Subversive originally. Helping verbs list with urdu meaning pdf. |
Eclipse Memory Analyzer | For finding memory leaks. Unlike last year with Neon, it installed cleanly from Eclipse Marketplace. |
Freemarker IDE | Freemarker syntax highlighting and macro assistance. Failed install Freemarker IDE from JBoss Tools 1.5 says it supports Oxygen. When downloading, I got the error No repository found at http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/neon/snapshots/builds/jbosstools-freemarker_master/latest/all/repo. Last year, it was under the JBoss Tool Project. I couldn’t find that this year. Also, last year, I had to use the Mars version because it wasn’t ready on day 1. I tried opening a .ftl file. I got a popup asking if want to “Show IDE extensions for this file type and let me install them”. There were two choices. The Freemarker IDE 1.5 and RedHat JBoss Developer Studio which doesn’t look free. |
Pydev | Python plugin/perspective |
Contrast | To spot potential security issues. See my impressions of the Contrast plugin. |
Bytecode Outline | I’ve been looking at bytecode a good fit for the book to make sure I understand why things are happening. This plugin makes it easy. I first tried Bytecode Visualizer but install failed. (The website says there were 25 failed installs with the same dependency problem in the last 7 days). After installing Bytecode Outline, I realized this was the one I had installed for Luna anyway. |
Pitclipse | For mutation testing coverage |
