I think this is very interesting but it should be made into WTP proper 
not added on top IMO.

On the bugzilla WTP guys says it should go in but someone should 
volunteer to maintain it.

I would need the same for introducing/adding it into JBoss Tools.

Same as when we talked last - any reason why you don't volunteer to 
maintain it on eclipse side ?
