Repeating the last command in Eclipse a la Vim

As good as Eclipse is at writing my code for me, I sometimes find myself needing to repeat the same operation, as with hitting the period (.) key in Vi(m). It seems reasonable that if Eclipse's concept of commands allows for Undo/Redo, a Repeat should be an easy addition, but I'm not seeing anything of the sort under Preferences->General->Keys. Maybe there's a plugin?

Thanks!

EDIT I'm aware there are a bunch of plugins for vimitation, but this time I'm looking for something lighter that leaves the editor more or less intact.

Have you tried Vrapper? It is an Eclipse plugin that emulates basic Vim commands/features in the Eclipse standard editor.

It is NOT the full fledged Vim environment running in Eclipse like VimPlugin (which does not fully work with os x). It just supports all the basic Vim commands for movement and editing (also the . command ;) but that's pretty it. Cool thing is that all the Eclipse advanced commands are still available through standard .
