Setting up development environment with eclipse

Development environment with eclipse

Most of my development work is basically done with eclipse. My feeling about eclipse is simple dreamland for every/any Java developer. When working with java and eclipse most I need is some plug-in to include in the eclipse installation.

1. SVN support.
2. Maven plug-in 
3. Wiki 

This much of plug-ins make my development environment complete As now I have moved to newest version of eclipse for JEE (eclipse Ganymede). I need to make new approach to add some of the plug-ins.
