Well, Andrew, hold on. Let's hold our horses.
(Aurelien, I am the person who talked to St�ve about the plugin)
Before auto-complete (which needs deep integration with Mono), refactoring and any kind of designer, there are basic requirements we can ignore and have to prioritize IMHO.
1) Work with Eclipse 3.x (which right now means 3.0RC2)
2) Do syntax coloring for C# 1.0 (ECMA #334) and possibly 2.0 (including generics and anonymous methods)
3) Compile using mcs (Mono C# compiler), integrate compiler errors, run applications with mono
4) Work on Linux/MacOS/Windows
I think that's the basic features we need.
After that, we can think of different wizards to create C# classes, include pr2make and different project imports, iKVM integration.
intellisense/autocompletion is of course big but requires some introspection into the project and mono assemblies which is tougher to do with Eclipse that it is with monodevelop (which runs within a mono vm) and 1-4 should be done before it is attempted.
Aurelien I can work with you if you need clarification on any of this.
What do we think ?

Thank you for working on this! I don't know if the C# plugin already
implements these, but for me, the most needed features in a C# development
tool are, in this order, 1 being most important.
1) auto complete (auto fill, intelligent statement completion, whatever)
2) class view (a tree structure of my classes and methods)
3) refactoring
4) web/windows form designer

Subject: [Mono-list] C# plugin for eclipse
Hello,
I'm working on an upgrade of the Improve C# plugin for eclipse to make it
work
with eclipse 3.0 and mono 1.0.
The plugin will be release under the CPL license http://www.eclipse.org/legal/cpl-v10.html
What are most the most needed features??
