while on the completion side I agree with the adoption on clang, maybe 
directly in language-support-cpp-java (btw: why do we leave java in the 
plugin name if we neither support the completion?), I'm not that sure 
about the gtk-tree and symbols inheritances.
If I were able to compile that gedit plugin (please add stricter 
configure rules for the requested libraries) I would try to understand 
if clang supports also a 'ctags symbol scanning feature'.
There's also the global-packages thing: is clang able to process a .c 
file, output the list of symbols, write them on a file and reload them 
when requested?
