I was wondering what kind of tools people use to make their coding experience more enjoyable or easy. Especially in java. Also, what kind of tools would be nice? EDIT: Let's assume we all use some IDE that supports plugins... :-p

<ol> <li>An IDE like IntelliJ, Eclipse, Netbeans. If you use IntelliJ, get addicted to <code>Ctrl+Space</code> and <code>Alt+Enter</code> </li> <li>Use debugger</li> <li>Use IDE built-in profiler or plugins like YourKit</li> <li>Build and continuous integration tool, ant, maven, buildr, TeamCity, Hudson, etc</li> <li>Java Coffee at <code>CAFE BABE</code> </li> </ol>
