which plugins download for Eclipse?

[Henrique Seganfredo]

Folks, I am trying Eclipse here, but it seems to offer so many plugins
options that I get somewhat lost. Sincerely I have no time to keep
installing all them here and check every one.

Basically here is what I want, probably a single plugin wont cover all these
requisites...

1) Extra Swing components (datetime pickers, datatables, etc.)
2) Code completion and syntax highlight for .java, XML, .JSP, Javascript,
HTML, etc.
3) Database access (editor, query), and if possible graphical view of the
database schema and even edition w/o dealing with SQL commands.
4) Tomcat support for simple JSP apps

As you see I don't deal with J2EE...

Any tips??

Why do you need an Eclipse plugin for these?

2) Code completion and syntax highlight for .java, XML, .JSP, Javascript,

Doesn't Eclipse come with that?

3) Database access (editor, query), and if possible graphical view of the

I don't use them, but you can find many plugins here:

4) Tomcat support for simple JSP apps

With the Sysdeo plugin being my fav.

But I use MyEclipse (http://wwwmyeclipseide.com) Not free, but at
$31.75/year, very affordable.
