Remember that Eclipse is an open source community project. The best way 
to get a feature added is to contribute. You can contribute in lots of 
ways; you've already started by participating in these forums. You can 
also blog or otherwise write about Eclipse, or evangelize to other 
programmers. Another step is to contribute ideas and bug reports. 
Further steps include debugging and implementing features yourself and 
contributing the code.

Point is, don't assume that Someone will always spend their valuable 
time working on whatever feature or bug you consider important - a 
community only works if everyone contributes.
