Hi!
I ported some code and features from Eclipse 3.4 and 3.5 to Descent,
which are already present in the Java Development Toolkit for Eclipse
(JDT). These features are:
- The popup is nicer when hovering a symbol, showing it's icon and
allowing to open the ddoc view or the declaration.
- The popup also shows compile-time values of constant variables and
enum members when available.
- The completion proposal list is nicer, showing the declaring type or
module in grey (it's cleaner to the eyes). Also fields and methods are
separated by ":" from their type.
- When hovering a method with ctrl hold, two options appear: "Open
Declaration" and "Open Implementation". The first one just jumps to the
method declaration. The second one opens a popup showing the classes or
interfaces that implement that method, allowing you to quickly navigate
to one of them. This is very useful when programming to interfaces.
Here's a video showing all of these things:

Enjoy!
