If you are saying we should make this stuff part of openjpa officially (meaning some new openjpa-eclipse module) then I have some concerns. I am not conversant with the complexity of build process and dependencies in automating maven builds for such plugin -- but my assumption is it is going to be non-trivial. Also it will bring dependencies with other (jdt) eclipse plugins that may be evolving faster than our current dependencies such as Apache Commons libraries.
Hence, my preference is to consider a separate project altogether. Such project will have more independence to reach a skill set focused towards Eclipse plugin development and IDE usability aspects.
