Awesome!

JUnit tests are definitely encouraged and we like to separate things
into plugins like most Eclipse plugins.

Open a bug and attach a tarball or zip.  We'll need to open a
contribution questionnaire (CQ) with the Eclipse legal team and go
through that process.  The deadline for the legal team to process CQs
for inclusion in Indigo was a while ago so it's unlikely this will make
0.8, our Indigo contribution.  We'll get it in shortly afterwards,
though.

Thanks and looking forward to working with you!
