Very helpful, source works (at least for imp.runtime). But...

Under 3.5RC3 p2 complains that the IMP Source Formatting Support needs
sdf_eclipse_installer_feature.feater.group 0_0_0 so I have to tunnel
down to install just the IMP Runtime. Attempting to install anything
with Polyglot seems to hang after displaying just two lines of the Polyglot
license.

It would be good to have top level composite features that correspond to valid
use cases. Thus 'IMP Runtime' is one, 'IMP All' is another,
? 'IMP without SDE' is perhaps another.

These top level features should have the top number (0.1.103) bridging the
gap to the internal number (0.1.99, 0.1.89 etc).

-----

The IMP Eclipse pages are out of date. IMP has good downloads and updates
but the Eclipse Downloads Projects page shows IMP as a name only project.

The following bugs would be really nice to see fixed.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=242967 simple patch eliminating IMP editor in favour of a derived IMP editor
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=255621 simple patches to lose build warnings on Eclipse 3.5RC3
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=255601 very simple patches enabling HTML in hovers, fixing multi-messages
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=279350 very simple patch avoiding NPE for derived BuilderBase
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=279352 very simple patch avoiding NPE building deleted file
