People might want to look into doing Eclipse plug-ins. 
(http://www.eclipse.org)  It's a sort of generalized, open, 
extensible IDE framework, or maybe a "tool environment".  It's not 
tied to any language in particular.  I haven't used it in a while but 
as I recall it had a lot of potential.  It isn't GPL, though, it's 
released under IBM's Common Public License.  I would imagine you 
could still write GPL plugins for it, though.
