Now, that the hudson-eclipse plugin seems dead for quite a while (not anything since 2009) i was briefly thinking about writing my own update with the xml-api by Jenkins.
But then i discovered that the mylyn project did what i wanted and even more ! With mylyn 3.5 there is an Jenkins/Hudson connector that will allow you to see the status of each job, see the test results, check the Jenkins console in eclipse, even provide a clickable changelog !
Check out the new features of http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/new/ !
