[TYPO3-ect] Eclipse Plugin Development

[Andreas Tschirpke]

Hi Malte, thank you. Yes those TYPO3 specific functions are still 
missing, as they are not part of my Master-Thesis work, they will be 
added later on. Eclipse is really a great framework for extensions and 
very customizable, so i think it will could become a great TYPO3 
development tool. I already started a very basic editor, but didn't have 
much time in the last months to work on it.

Did you actually try the plugin?

Andreas
