timotei - Improving the Eclipse Plugin

I aim at improving the plugin, so it will become the tool used by all UMC Authors. That is, UMC Authors will get rid of the lot of different tools they use for different tasks (for example the Emacs WMLMode/other plugins for different text editors), and instead use one single unified Tool that will speed up the development. My target is to make this plugin a complete and very stable suite for all umc tasks that don't need specialized software - like a graphics editor, so I'd like to have this oportunity to finish it in the good sense.
See SummerofCode2011 Timotei21 for more information.

Description

Enhance & polish the eclipse plugin

A java-based Eclipse plugin was created in 2010 to allow easier creation and modification of User-made content for wesnoth. You should extend this work and polish existing features in terms of usability and performance, and add new features.

Additional Information

Support for multiple Wesnoth installations

There should be support for handling multiple Wesnoth installations, each one of them with different binaries/wml tools and so on. The user should be able to use the feature in an easy way that should restart the eclipse workspace as few as possible.

Enhance the auto complete featue

Find a way of easy specifying the tags we want autocomplete on or add autocomplete for the much used tags.
