Test-friendly plugins for Eclipse

Here is a list of useful Eclipse plugins for testing purposes:

Moreunit: helps identifying which classes have an associated TestCase by naming conventions. It also supports switching between the class and the test class with a simple keystroke. Its nice to see a little green square on the class icon when browsing the project in the project explorer. Use version 0.5.2, works with Callisto.

Coverlipse: Coverlipse is an Eclipse plugin that visualizes the code coverage of JUnit Tests. It is unique for it integrates seamlessly in Eclipse. The coverage results are given directly after a JUnit run. This makes it the perfect tool for developers to recognize their tests fullfil their task. I tried it with the Callisto bundle and sadly it keeps burping an OutOfMemoryError. Seems that it worked fine with 3.1
