EditorViewer plugin for Eclipse

"This Eclipse Plugin "EditorViewer" provides a view of all open editors within Eclipse. The goal is to provide as many of the same features of the "Navigator" plugin provided with the base Eclipse install. Currently Eclipse presents the list of open editors via the use of tabs, while useful if only a few files are open, the names on those tabs quickly become useless/unreadable as more and more editors are open. This plugin aims to provide a means to clearly access the open editors regardless of the number as well as provide convenient functionality for those editors such as comparison and team functions."

This is a very nice plugin.. It corrects one of the few irritant factors in Eclipse. This is the beauty of the Eclipse's plugin architecture, one does not need to wait for the next release of the product, anyone can build a plugin for the small/big feature that he believes will make Eclipse a better place to live.

Log4E - Eclipse Plugin

"Version 0.5 Log4E is an Eclipse Plugin which helps you to set up your logger easily in Java Projects. It assists you in several tasks: logger declaration, logger Inserts at certain method entries, replacements of System out's, modification of already existing logger statements. "

This should be a useful plugin for projects which are using Log4J. This confirms the belief that people should just use the standard APIs available without building wrappers over it, unless your requirement is really different. I am not sure it was smart of Indigo to build its own wrappers for Logging.
