This site has some cool ways to analyze that information:

Look at the date for the 1.0.0 tag and compare that to overall project
history. We also have detailed changelogs on the web site that has
release dates and changes. It is hard to use the time as a gauge. We
are an open source project. Activity goes up and down wildly. If
your project progresses at a steady rate it will be much faster.
Also, we started back in Eclipse 2.x and the API completely changed
for 3.0. So we had to backtrack and adjust. It is generally easier
now and there are more examples to use.

Unfortunately no. I was not around at the start. I think the
original developers likely started with the CVS plug-in and modified
it as needed. Of course that was CVS at the Eclipse 2.0 timeframe
too.
