Java Code Structure and Dependencies Analysis Tools for Eclipse
One of my first assignments at the new company (remember, I left Zend previous week), was analysing existing projects structure. Which means distribution of classes into packages, package dependencies, libraries usage etc.
The results, I would say, were far from being perfect, but I can bet, most of large (and especially proprietary) projects would look similar or even worse. But this is not what I was going to say.
What I am going to say, is for this purpose I evaluated several analysis tools and I want to share my opinion about them.

Pros: no.
Cons: Does not analyze dependencies.
2. JDepend
Pros: Nice and simple UI, fast analysis.
Cons: Provides neither graph [...]

Grouped Completion (Content Assist) in PDT
Last Wednesday I was working on grouping of code completion (content assist) options. It’s now only exists in CVS and will be (hopefully) released with the build after the next one (the current is already finalized).
Overview
The main point of the feature is collapsing of multiple same-prefixed options into groups, instead of showing a long list [...]
