Ok, I'd like to lobby to see these items added to the 3.3 plan:

 

1. Desktop integration:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=13221 ([EditorMgmt] [RCP] dragging an external file onto the editor area should open it)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=60289 ([EditorMgmt] Launch Eclipse editor from outside Eclipse)

 

2. Scripting, macros, and automation:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=8519 (keystroke macros recording and playing capability)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=35949 ([Commands] macros: Allow key bindings to execute multiple commands in series.)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36163 (Feature suggestion:  IDE/plugin scriptability through built-in _javascript_)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37680 (Add Eclipse automation)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37936 (Allow automation of common tasks)
