Java Toolset
by Frank Spychalski filed under articles

If you find this useful, you might like my other articles, too.

I stumbled upon Bruce Eckel’s Java Toolset page. A lot of content but hard to read. Here’s my list of ‘must-have’ java tools:

IDE:
Eclipse, unfortunately IntelliJ is not free.

build/automation:
Ant
Perl
Bash scripting

Code quality
PMD a bug dectector
CPD copy-paste-detector

Frameworks:
(what I use in every project)
JUnit
JDOM
Log4J

I’m happy for any other recommendations…

    I can’t imagine why anyone would need perl and bash for developing with java. But you’ve certainly forgotten to mention CVS or some other version control system.
