Grant Gayed has been quietly fixing
things too when he has time.  We've all been chipping away at it a
bit, but it's not part of the Eclipse 3.4 plan.  In any case, please
go ahead and enter bug reports.  If you are planning to look at a
larger chunk (like Alex is doing with Drag & Drop), post to this list
and let us know. Thanks for your interest!

Scott & Alex-

I'm delighted to hear that there is more interest and activity than I  
fist detected, and that it sounds like it will be ramping up even  
more! I will definitely start working more with it and, at the very  
least, file some more bug reports.
