I'm not sure whether I understood your target. I agree anders_hessellund classified the community to 3 groups. As a member of the 3rd group, application "customizers", I don't think a Eclipse based IDE will help us. I'll prefer an web-based interface allow us to edit ftl, css, label, service, groovy files online, replace jars, restart component and such functions which are very useful in test and production environments.
