I have been developing a Drupal plug-in for Eclipse PDT. It's purpose is to provide Drupal related enhancements and pre-defined configuration settings to allow recognition and editing of Drupal (PHP) file types. Details available at http://groups.drupal.org/node/39938.

Since Eclipse and Drupal are all about open, I felt I should be open with the PDT community of where I thought about taking this Drupal plugin. All of my Eclipse plugins will be listed http://xtnd.us/eclipse/install.

Drupal file-types. (*.module, *.theme, *.info, etc.) DONE (screenshot)
New File Wizard (module, .info, and theme files) ... in early research.
Multi-page editor for *.info (module and theme) ... in early development.
Preference settings (global) ... in early design.
Views (enhance Outline or create new) ... in early design.
Smarter code completion for Form API and common values in popular function calls ... no research done.
Code Templates ... early prep.
Drupal API help (and lookup) ... in early design.

I am not interested in making a custom Perspective (no need), nor a custom Project type. If I can make a simple "Drupal Project" wrapper for a PDT project, and enable JS + PHP in one shot, then I'd be interested in making that Drupal project type. I am also looking into how I'd be able to display Drupal hooks from modules and themes in a nice way.

The next release(s) I am focusing on will include the New File Wizard(s) (for Drupal Modules), and the first version of the Multi-page editor for *.info files. I have been working on getting code templates packaged in and would like to include them in one of the upcoming releases.

I am having trouble learning how to pre-define Drupal Form API array indexes to appear as code hints. If anyone can provide insight on this I'd really appreciate it.
