MouseFeed Eclipse Plugin
I am using this one, which is very helpful for programmers who don't use key shortcut because they don't know about them.

My answer to this is clearly eclim. It exports Eclipse functionality to Vim, enabling me to use several awesome features of Eclipse, like auto-completion, autobuild and error-markup in the source file (using locations in Vim), auto-formatting, automatic imports, JavaDoc search, Source code Search... blah, I could go on forever.
