I’ve looked into some of the regexp plug-ins for Eclipse today, and QuickREx is, in my opinion, the best one out there.
If you have other favourites, please inform me:-)
The contributors to this project has also implemented a plug-in for developing XPath expressions.

What I don’t get is why both of those regex plugins can’t run their regex on the active text editor. That would be much more useful then their microscopic text entry field in a view.
No need for an eclipse plugin. This real-time javascript regex evaluator is great for building and testing a regex pattern. Has helped me quite a lot of times.

Of course if your a real *nix hacker, sed is your one and only tool 😉
