Eclipse today is a very good IDE. But what is the direction for future? In two 
years from now how would programming become simpler and more powerful?

I would like to propose that a feature be built into eclipse that takes 
highlighted code or selected classes and refactors requested design patterns  
into code based on some input from users.

TogetherJ does this today and many developers are crazy about it.

One could begin with Singleton, Factory and Visitor and slowly grow it.

Moving to JDT/UI for comment.
Erich, any thoughts about design patterns? :-)

More refactorings are definitly on the list for after 2.0.
Refactorings towards design patterns is one path we want to investigate.
In fact given that we have an AST API external contributors can provide them as 
well

Deferred for after 2.0

Chaning state from assigned later to resolved later. Assigned later got 
introduced by the last bug conversion and is not a supported Eclipse bug state.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
