Hi Dado,

This depends on what you want to do. If you want to program
server-applications, you need a servlet-container like tomcat. If you
want to program GUI-applications, a GUI-builder might be useful...

Of course, there are plugins for eclipse that support those things,
although they are not part of the "standard-distribution" of eclipse.
(Like VE/GEF/...)

A special profiler-plugin might be useful as well (although i did not
find any (free) good one, yet...)

The list might be long depending on what your purposes are.

Ciao,
Ingo

Make sure you have lots of processing power and copious amounts of
memory, Eclipse is a hungry beastie.  Actually for learning, a compiler
and text editor force you into learning stuff that the IDE allows you to
ignore.  Multiple windows can always be used to handle different
functions.

Besides if you plan on doing it professionally, there will be that time,
 at 4:00am at a client when you need to fix something and the Internet
is not working, and all you can stuff on the CD is a compiler for a
couple of platforms, so your sitting there with only notepad or Vi
available.  If you don't know what your doing, then your sunk.

Every professional programmer should know the basics of Vi, every
Unix/Linux box has a version of Vi on it.  For windows, Vi is available
(Winvi) and quite small, the executable is 370K, the zip file is 189K.

NetBeans is Ok, but I can't edit the source which it generates.
It isn't problem for developing j2sdk, desktop applications, but rigth now I
was thinking about step over -> j2EE and developing web applications.
Specifically, I want to add some web comunication element to  my desktop
application.
