For bugs and features the best place is to create an issue for them

Hmm, I tried your example and it works as you desire for me. I'm using
Eclipse 3.4.1. As I tab it continues to push the next line (line 2)
out in indentation increments, which is also true for lines 3 and 4. I
tried this in a file that only contains your example. Maybe an
Eclipse setting?

Yea, this would be a good feature, certainly the next feature to be
worked on :) the following plugin has this type of functionality:

http://velocitywebedit.sourceforge.net/

However, Velocitywebedit has grown a little stale, and I'm not sure
how well it works currently. I've thought about moving my updated
changes into Velocitywebedit, or getting what I need from
Velocitywebedit. I havn't dove into code yet so I'm not sure what is
more practical.
