Integration to Eclipse with XText

I recently found this little Eclipse project here:
http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/
It converts custom defined programming languages to java - basically the same thing processing does!
But instead of using a own IDE like processing does, they use eclipse, and also keep all its advantages, like a content assist, live validation and quick fixes. Even their examples seem quite familiar to me: http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/7languagesDoc.html#tortoise
Maybe somebody (who is better in java than me
) could see if this could be a better solution for integration processing into eclipse than the current one.
AFAIK Modifying installed components and the interface of eclipse isn't to hard, so maybe this could even help to improve the default editor - or rebuild it based on xText and eclipse.
