On fresh Eclipse installations, I usually feel a bit naked, until I realise that this lovely little plugin is not part of Eclipse itself. It’s called AnyEdit tools, and it features the following nice things:

  • Convert Tabs <-> Spaces
  • Convert: Chars <-> Html entities
  • Convert: Camel <-> Underscores
  • Convert: Capitalize
  • Convert: Invert Case
  • Convert: To Upper Case
  • Convert: To Lower Case
  • Convert: From/To Base64
  • Compare/Replace with Clipboard
  • Compare/Replace with Workspace File…
  • Compare/Replace with External File…
  • Compare/Replace with Opened Editor…

Most of these features are available through shortcuts, too. Download it, too and you’ll never want to miss it again!

I would not consider this one nice (I guess it depends what programming languages it operates on) -    Camel <-> Underscores

It doesn't depend on the language, it's just basic text editor enhancement. The most useful of all proved to be the "compare with clipboard" feature
