Eclipse PDT Plugin for CodeIgniter

It's my understanding (and I could be wrong) that the way CI is structured doesn't lend itself to code completion. For example, form_validation is not declared as a class property but is rather dynamically attached to the controller. The lack of autocomplete functionality in CI is due to a combination of dynamically attached/loaded properties and the way that Eclipse relies on class declarations and/or javadoc comments to generate your autocomplete options.

I have achieved some autocomplete happiness by extending the CI_Controller class with my own and declaring my own custom controller properties in it.
