Can you say maven archetype?

Actually, in this case less is more. T5 does need much less IDE support
then T4, but what this means is that as an IDE plugin developer i can
spend my time thinking of more ways i can improve the life of every
Tapestry developer instead of figuring out all the quirks and rules for
path resolutions and stuff like that.

At this point, i've already got:

- project wizard that downloads all dependencies and create a ready to
run project with a module builder, a configured web.xml and a Home page.
- page creation wizard.
- syntax highlighting in component templates.
- a visual palette that show all services in you module builder in a
tree and let's you inject them in a component. And it extracts the
documentation from the service class and shows it in a nice manner.

Still a lot to be done and lot's of cool ideas in my mind. The really
good news is that implementing this has been much much easier compared
with supporting T4.
