Trygve, 

Yes I have looked at the Eclipse and it has given me some ideas.

I can email you the plugin as it is to see what you think about the
direction its going?

Oh, seems like I missunderstood what you where after. I've created a 
couple of external tools myself that does the trick, but I see what 
you're after.

I would love such a plugin, and I'm pretty sure that there are others 
who also would like something like this. It might be smart to take a 
look at the Maven 2 Eclipse plugin[1] as a starting point, at least to 
see how the Maven integration itself is working.

If you would like to open source your plugin I'm sure we can put it in 
the Mojo sandbox for now just to get started.
