The real answer is that Many Java IDE's give the same types of features (as relevant for Java), so you should really check them out and then ask about a specific missing feature that you had in CodeRush that you think would be relevant to a Java IDE.

This is true, coming from a Java background (Eclipse mostly), I was baffled at how few navigational features the Visual Studio code editor offers out of the box. Much of what CodeRush / Resharper bring to Visual Studio is an out of the box feature in all three of the major Java IDE's. – Barend Dec 21 '09 at 20:28

While not quite like CodeRush, you can try JetBrains IDE for java (IntelliJ) to get similar functionality to what Resharper offers (not that dissimilar to CodeRush)

Nothing exist that is exactly like CodeRush for Java. The closest thing you will find is the JetBrains IDE as saret said.

The design philosophy of CodeRush/Refactor! is to never show a modal dialog like Eclipse/Resharper/Visual Studio does for refactoring. Instead CodeRush uses context sensitivity, by watching the AST, and only shows you refactorings that make sense. CodeRush/Refactor draws on top of the editor and animates things where appropriate.

Animation example: enter image description here
