All of the above :) Being able to run a Jelly script from Eclipse and having a Jelly-friendly editor would be my top 2 things I'd love in a Jelly eclipse plugin. > > I was thinking we could auto-generate something (say XML > > Schema documents) > > for each tag library so that Eclipse could perform > > auto-completion of tags > > etc. > > > > Does the necessary information exist to do this?

Right now we have jellydoc which is a Maven plugin that generates XML metadata about Tags using introspection & a custom doclet. It'd be easy to generate standard XML descriptors from this information. Handling DynaTags is a bit more tricky; though for now just highlighting which Tags are DynaTags would do.
