Having read the whitepaper and the answers here I would like to 
recapitulate.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

This is what the Model Bus is for. It will be a server running independently 
of Eclipse, contacted by WSDL/RMI
There will be an Eclipse plugin to contact a Model Bus Server.

There will be a MDA scenario description language on top of the Model Bus, 
coordinating the tools plugged in.
Is this inside the scope of the project? Is there a whitepaper? This would 
also require a SDK plugin for programming the MDDI server remotely.

Have I got it right?
