Description

Emmet is an editor plug-in for many IDEs / editors that supports quick generation of HTML. For example

section.break>h1+ul>li*5

expands to

<section class="break">
    <h1></h1>
    <ul>
        <li></li>
        <li></li>
        <li></li>
        <li></li>
        <li></li>
    </ul>
</section>

It would be very useful to have something like this in Eclipse as well.
