Developer Windows Box Tools

I recently needed to create my development environment from scratch and here is my (probably incomplete) list of tools I tend to install for may daily work and on a Windows box.

• PowerShell (if Windows XP) a Windows Shell done right
• CygWin what ever is missing in PowerShell, here it is
• IntelliJ since there is the community edition, there is no reason not to have it
• Krento fast access to the most used apps
• Launchy (if Windows XP)
• ClipX for hitory and batch processing Copy and Paste
• gVim sometimes if I need a second different text editor
• Notepad++ my preferred Text Editor
• Google Chrome (Beta) with Extensions
• FireFox with FireBug and other plugins
• Sysinternals Suite by Mark Russinovich
• Groovy mostly for writing unit tests
• Ruby just in case
• Scala
• WampServer makes it so easy to install Apache, mySQL, php
• Skype - sometimes I need it
• DropBox to easily share files between distributed computers
• Password Safe - how do you manage your passwords
• Java in different versions from 1.5 to 1.6
• Tomcat in different versions
• Maven
• Ant just in case there is a project that does not use Maven
• ThinkingRock for GTD

I know there is more. In follow up posts I will start to list plug-ins for different apps like Google Chrome, Firefox, IntelliJ, etc.
