Not in the moment: Eclipse will be going through a very unstable
period, as they will change a lot API. I think the next milestone
will not be that good, as the API isn't stable between milestones
either... Most of the plugins will probably break in the next
few weeks... And as the features are mostly 'groundwork' IMO it
isn't worth updating yet...
The only thing, what someone could do, would be to package a
eclipse-snapshot package. Unfortunatelly this will not happen
from my site until I have more webspace (>40MB only for sources)
and also more time (I'm currently doing the eclipse packages and
CDT and when that is ready, trying to get my exams done...).

Yes, that was added *after* 3.0M1.
Why the hell is someone releasing a plugin for a feature, which is
two days old and is not supporting the old behaviour (task view
had the problem markers)...
I will release a new version of the current eclipse branch (2.1 or
2.1.1, if it is released until then) on next sunday/monday
(depending on my Harry Potter reading exercise :). Shortly
afterwards I will add the motif bindings and will rename the
libswt-java package.
