I think it's a good idea, I used the old stuff at the time and it is something that is missing.

However, it could be possible to distribute a stand alone RCP application for those not using Eclipse, and eventually try to implement a "generic Hadoop-UI bridge", as far as possible agnostic of specific Eclipse classes and interfaces, that could eventually be reused for other IDEs.
