Understood, what I mean is; the files(the gtk properties) do not belong in the cdt.ui plugin.
This plugin(cdt.ui), is trying very hard to be platform/library/os/... agnostic.
A better place could be the gnu.{core,ui} plugins or maybe a contribution
of a gtk plugin.

The completion contribution did not move that much,
are you referring to code completion(content assist) ?
It would be nice to consolidate this for CDT-2.x: add include action contribution,
and completion contribution(including hovering)
If you want to drive this, that would be great, let me know. We have some initial
work that could be push down to the CDT.
Did you something else in mind ?

Java comes with XML parsers 8).
