If you're completely new to what the FDT + Eclipse platform can offer, a great place to start is the Eclipse Market Place. Here you can learn about and browse existing Eclipse plugins.

Karl Freeman has made a great post called Enhance your FDT setup even further with Eclipse plugins & Ant scripts. He has lots of great plugins there.

Here is our ongoing list of plugins we've tried out and find useful:

Zen Coding Plugin

Zen Coding is an editor plugin for high-speed HTML, XML, XSL (or any other structured code format) coding and editing. The core of this plugin is a powerful abbreviation engine which allows you to expand expressions—similar to CSS selectors—into HTML code.

Our Take: Useful for ANT, XML and MXML (Flex) coding.

ExploreFS

ExploreFS is a tiny plugin (~6KB) that opens a selected file in the folder of the native file manager. It adds "Explore in File System" to the context menu of Eclipse's package explorer, resource navigator, and other views. Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux are supported.

Our Take: Easy access to native file system. A must have.

BigSource Zarkov is a compiler wrapper for eclipse to simplify ant tasks. It features ant taskdefinitions with autocompletion for every compilertask. Creating ant targets with the choosen compiler and the comiler specific options will become more comfortable.
