Answer 1

There is a similar feature in Eclipse: select Team / Show Annotation... in the right click menu on a Java file. It should work with various team providers (I only have experiences with CSV and SVN).

Short description of this feature is available here.

UPDATE: for the Eclipse EGit team provider, the corresponding menu is called Team / Show revision information. See more information in the excellent EGit User Guide.

Answer 2

In Eclipse right click on your java class.

Team -> Show Revision Information

then right click on the line numbers

Revisions -> Show Author

this will give the name of authors for each line.

Answer 3

As of (at least) Eclipse Oxygen, "Show Annotation" is no longer on the Team menu.

The menu has been renamed "Show Revision Information", and is located at the bottom of the Team menu.
