Jgrasp has a really cool debug viewer: http://www.jgrasp.org/viewers.html
Without any setup, you can see how your objects are interacting visually. It's been really handy for working with linked lists.
However, overall, I hate jGrasp. Is there anything like this for Netbeans or Eclipse? I ran a number of searches and came up dry. It's too bad....
I think, the closest thing you'll get is Jive : http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/jive/
It's a plugin for Eclipse. See there for installing instructions : http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/jive/download.html
In case anyone ends up here looking for an answer, jGRASP viewer/canvas plugins for Eclipse and IntelliJ have been available for a few years.

I develop features for Eclipse, and I often have to make SWT GUIs, for ex. Wizards. Coding SWT in Java isn't difficult to me, but I would like sometimes to see in real time what I get. Actually, I found some extensions for Eclipse to edit SWT graphically, but I want to know some other users' experiences in that area, to decide if is it worth to deal with.
I recommend the WindowBuilder (https://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/).
It has a plugin for Eclipse and works with SWT and Swing.

I'm a software tester and developer. My company is starting a partnership with another development team and we need a new tool for static analysis.
The new team's previous code is written in Java, so we need a static analysis tool with similar features to Cppcheck. We have been trying Macker, PMD and JDepend but none of these are like Cppcheck.
Also, we are trying to get a trial license of Coverity, which it seems like we want, but at the moment I couldn't test it yet.
So, does anyone know of a tool like the one I'm looking for? Thanks!
Have a look at SonarQube. This tool provides a broad analysis of your Java code. Examples can be found here.

I'm writing an IDE in Java and I'm looking for a library that will highlight the code for me. I've found plenty for javascript, but that wont do me any good. I'd love to write my own but I don't have the foggiest idea where to start. Are there any Java libraries out there?
Take a look at jsyntaxpane; it may be the easiest starting point rather than starting from scratch.
I've used this library and it does the job pretty well: RSyntaxTextArea

I have recently been tasked to working on code that uses Java CUP. Does anybody still use it? I've found a couple small resources on it, but it looks like there isn't much documentation on the main site, Java Cup Website. If there are any mailing-lists or users out there I would like to know. BTW, I can't use the new engine that is being maintained by the people in Munich, I got to stick with version 0.1.
We use the newer one on the Eclipse XPath2 engine (disturbingly called PsychoPath).
CUP gets the job done, but we use the newer one.
Being a small piece of software, it's easier to understand, which makes up for the scarceness of resources.

I want to develop an eclipse plugin to show some special functions with Eclipse Java Editor. Except for these minor changes all other things should be same as a normal Eclipse Java Editor. What are some Eclipse plugin development tutorials to help me get started?
This is a nice tutorial for Eclipse plug-in development.
Here are some things you may want to look at for helpful info on extending the JDT:

The following are a bit more general on creating editors:
