This is great!
 
FWIW, i find that the most useful feature of the SCM plugins is actually keeping track of renames.
 
Most VCS operations can be done outside the IDE fairly easily, albeit with a bit less style and ease of use.  I find it more comfortable actually, but I'm probably in the minority there.
 
On the other hand, when you're doing class- and package-name refactoring inside eclipse, making the identical changes from the command line can be quite tedious and error-prone, especially since you can't use shell file completion to get the old path right.
 
So from my perspective, if you got that right and nothing else worked, I would be very pleased!
 
Just my $0.02.

===1st Weekly report===

This is Summer of Code's Zi Bin. I have officially
started work for two weeks. Prior  to this, I was tied
up with uni exams.

So far,I have written java module that allows
1)starting of new project, adding files to existing
workspace, creating workspace, list keys, gen keys,
commit works. All these are java modules(in eclipse)
to run the actual command in console(using Java 5.0's
ProcessBuilder).

The current task at hand would be to hack into
DarcsEclipse plugin to allow "Team > Share Project"
(For those who are not familiar with Eclipse, its just
a way to choose revison control of your choice in a UI
manner in Eclipse). Currently I am looking at the
DarcsEclipse code. Understanding of DarcsEclipse codes
have been slow. Any1 that is familiar, advice is
greatly appreciated.

Nathaniel and several other monotoners highlighted
that probably the most important thing is to allow
project to COMMIT in Eclipse itself. After all, that's
the use of plugin :-). Hacking into DarcsEclipse, my
priority is to understand how Darcs link to Eclipse's(
extension point) whereby sharing of project and
COMMITing is done. Hopefully,  I will bring good news
when my nex week's report comes in.

Cheers

Zi Bin
