MoreUnit is a great Eclipse plugin which makes writing and maintaining tests easier. Rename classes or methods and MoreUnit will rename the corresponding test code too. Move classes and MoreUnit will move the corresponding test classes.

The Java editor save actions are a very useful feature in Eclipse which will help you have more uniform and clean-looking code. You can configure a set of actions that Eclipse will automatically perform on a Java file when you save it. This way you can configure (part of) your coding conventions as save actions and Eclipse will correct the code if it is not compliant with these coding conventions.
