I'm not familiar with your pro software. What do they do in particular?

Eclipse is a development platform. For the most part its used as an IDE but it's really much more than that. http://www.eclipse.org/

Apache Ant is a cross platform build tool primarily for Java - it's like make on steroids. http://ant.apache.org/

Junit is a unit testing framework for Java. http://www.junit.org/index.htm

In case you hadn't figured it out, I'm a software developer and work primarily in Java.

(I left off AVG and Spybot S&D although life would probably be pretty crappy without those.)

At the last place I worked, we used Novell. It was really a mess. Groupwise used to give me so many headaches....
