IDEA also auto fixes
assertEquals(true, x) => assertTrue(x)
assertEquals(false, x) => assertFalse(x)
assertTrue(a == b) => assertSame(a,b)
assertTrue(a.equals(b)) => assertEquals(a,b)
assertEquals(null, x) => assertNull(x)

The more interesting one is
assertEquals(expression, constant) eg assertEquals(x – x, 0) => assertEquals(constant, expression)
i.e. the first argument should be the expected value

I found a little Eclipse feature a few weeks ago that may be the cure for all your woes…

Java -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Favorites [sic]

and there you can add all your favourite static utility classes and you don’t have to manually import them. If you find yourself importing the wrong classes all the time, consider adding the bad ones (i.e. com.*, sun.*, sunw.*) to

Java -> Appearance -> Type Filters
