That, and the project.properties, and build.properties.  The project.xml 
editor might be like the manifest editor.  Don't get me wrong -- I don't 
have a problem editing .xml files by hand, so this isn't a high 
priority, but it's a natural extension.  And some programmers do better 
when they're led by the hand.

Well, just running it isn't the only thing.
    * You need to be able to pick targets
    * automatically refresh everything in eclipse that changes
    * an option for using the Eclipse compiler (as ant does)
    *.errors encountered should show up in an eclipse view (Tasks for 
compiler errors).  
    * junit test runs should have their result shown in the Junit view.  
    * "new project - Maven", which creates all your basic setup stuff

There's no end of possibilities if you want to really make integration 
tight.

We really need clearer terms for these things....

How does it handle attaching source and javadoc to dependent libraries? 
 Also, is it extensible?  I'm working on an Eclipse builder that will be 
added to a java project, so if it's regenerating .project files and 
.classpaths, it needs to know about such things.
