I started to write a Wikipedia Eclipse Editor Plugin

know,
if there is a XMLRPC or SOAP interface (in the future) to read/update
Wikipedia articles.
Not currently. There is an experimental read-only SOAP interface in
CVS, which may or may not be kept or expanded in the future.
If yes, is there alread a Java API available?
If no, is it possible to update multiple wikitexts through the HTTP
forms
(with the httpclient.jar API) or is this regarded as spamming?

There's a suite of Python-based tools you might take a look at:
