I tested each of these for 5 min.
1) Planty http://www.gebit.de/download/planty/planty.html (Ant
editing) I'm keeping it!
2) SolarEclipse http://sourceforge.net/projects/solareclipse/
(Web-Application Development Environment - XML/HTML/JSP.) 4 plugins and
1 feature, but I am not sure what it does. I got rid of it.
3) XMLBuddy http://www.xmlbuddy.com/ (XML...) I'd like to learn more
about this. I'm keeping it.
4) PMD http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/ (Java source code
analyzer) Looks a lot better than I remember from testing it a few
months ago. I'm keeping it for a while.
5) Checkstyle http://www.telesynthesis.com/downloads/download.htm
(Java Code Auditor) I've used this before. It gives you too many
warnings and slows down your system (you can configure which warnings
to give, and which projects too check). Maybe I'll keep it, but I'll
only turn it on for a one or two projects, and I'll have to work on the
configuration.
6) Jalopy http://jalopy.sourceforge.net/ (Java source code
formatter/beautifier) Didn't even try it. The built-in formatter is
enough for me, and Cyrill said it doesn't work on Mac.
