Eclipse offers an integrated development environment having an extensible plug-in system. This enables Eclipse to provide all functionality on the top of its run-time system. It’s also different from other applications (where the functionality provided by plug-ins are mostly hard coded). Having the appropriate Eclipse plug is
important to stay productive, since it facilitates the Java developers to seamlessly develop and implement applications. Eclipse plug-ins also helps them to implement their application on several types of application infrastructures.
A regular eclipse user has dozens of add-on installed and often
struggles to keep eclipse running fast. Therefore choosing the right plugin for your everyday development environment is essential.
