plugin for easy TestCase creation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Current RobotIDE provides only basic editing functionality. Especially in
large projects with 1000s+ TCs and a big variety of (java-) keywords the
common tester/testscript writer looses overview as to what functionality
might already be available in some java/robot-keyword-library and hence
might re-invent some already available functionality.
This leads to some duplicate code/functionality (-> no structured key-word
libs, no easy overview on available java/robot-keywords, maintenace of TCs
will become difficult ...) as well as waste of time and budget.

Suggest to have a plugin for Eclipse IDE in order to make TC development
more straight forward and also simplify and speed up the (Robot-)testcase
creation.

Plugin should 'behave' similar to other programing language-plugins in
eclipse IDE (lookup of references, refactoring etc. etc.)

Alternatively RobotIDE sould be enhanced in this respect.

Eclipse plugin would be nice but the core development team doesn't have Eclipse
development experience not any extra resources. We are currently concentrating 
on
RIDE and now that holidays are about to be over its development will speed up 
again.
Please submit RIDE related enhancement ideas separately to its own tracker:
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework-ride/issues/list

Notice also that we have a separate web based system for storing keyword 
information.
That ought to help distributing the knowledge about available libraries and 
keywords:
