According to the Java website, “Java is a programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. There are lots of applications and websites that will not work unless you have Java installed, and more are created every day. Java is fast, secure, and reliable. From laptops to datacenters, game consoles to scientific supercomputers, cell phones to the Internet, Java is everywhere!” Recently, Oracle has filed a law suit of staggering $9.3 billion against Google which has utilized Java’s application protocol interfaces. Such is the penetration of Java in today’s world. Here are the ten (10) best Java productivity tools, plugins, and libraries recommended by Livecoding.tv engineers: Gradle 1/7

Collaborative Working Groups. Eclipse provides IDEs and platforms nearly every language and architecture.
YourKit is a technology leader, creator of the most innovative and intelligent tools for profiling Java & .NETapplications. The YourKit Java Profiler has been already recognized by the IT professionals and analysts as thebest profiling tool.
Clover
Another productivity tool highly recommended by Livecoding.tv engineers is Clover. Clover provides the metricsyou need to better balance the effort between writing code that does stuff, and code that tests stuff. Clover runsin your IDE or your continuous integration system, and includes test optimization to make your tests run faster,and fail more quickly.
Mockito is a mocking framework that tastes really good. It lets you write beautiful tests with a clean & simple API.Mockito doesn’t give you hangover because the tests are very readable and they produce clean verificationerrors.

FindBugs is a program which uses static analysis to look for bugs in Java code. It is free software, distributedunder the terms of the Lesser GNU Public License.
Java Decompiler
The “Java Decompiler project” aims to develop tools in order to decompile and analyze Java 5 “byte code” andthe later versions.Livecoding.tv engineers find this a very handy tool that increases productivity.
