Hi,David You can have a look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Extending_PDT_2.2
My development environment<http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT_Development_Environment>is eclipse 3.5 modeling version(it is a little big,300M+) + wtp + dltk source code. And by the way,if you want this feature,you also could submit a bug about this.Recently I have fixed a bug(bug 201108,but not upload the patch yet) like this very much.
