Integrating DTP and JDT

Since almost the beginning of DTP, we've had multiple requests (examples: 113029, 105202) for integration of data tooling with Eclipse Java development components. For the first couple of releases of DTP we've had to focus on building foundations. As DTP 1.5 ("Europa") looms, the DTP PMC thought it might be a good time to revisit DTP/JDT integration and get a feel for what is possible and desirable from the community.

So, here's a proposal for an EclipseCon long talk -- I'd appreciate any comments on it using Eclipsezilla if possible.
