Use the Eclipse Marketplace to find additional Developer Tools for ABAP

[ThFiedler]

Hi community,

one reason why we picked Eclipse as development tools platform was the huge eclipse community. There are a lot of developers out there building tools for eclipse that we can simply use also for the ABAP development. Things like small helper tools for the source code editor but also tools like UML modeling tools are available mostly for free.

But do you know that this community is nicely integrated in your ABAP development environment?

You find all these additional tools on the eclipse marketplace that you can open via the eclipse menu:

The marketplace opens in an own window:

The marketplace offers search capabilities for you with tool categories and an integrated rating system that might be helpful to find the plugins you are looking for.

Happy searching for new plugins !

Last week serban.petrescu already proposed some very nice plugins that he uses already in the ABAP editor. You can find them in his Feature Explorer Blog: AiE - Eclipse Feature Explorer

So I had the idea why not use this blog here to share some of the coolest plugins that you find on the eclipse marketplace with the AIE community. 

Kind Regards,

Thomas.
