sounds like a good idea - add it as a feature request.

Something like Plugin-in Dependencies view.

btw. I think that it would be more relevant to add code completion that were more intelligent first.
e.g. today if I code complete for "column" I get nothing even though there is a tag called f:column or rich:column.

We should *not* require that prefix to be typed to find that autocompletion. (I believe we already have a jira for that somewhere)

For the palette or even code completion it would be *really* good is if it could show which tags makes more sense to put at the current point in the file...e.g. made them appear at the top instead of mixed in with the rest e.g. when inside a rich:dataTable tags like rich:column, h:column makes more sense than others.
