Hi Christoph. That link on the Developer is on the old Xj3D.org site for Xj3D 2.0. Not sure it is maintained anymore; certainly the resources there are quite dated and unlikely to work in latest Eclipse.

NPS maintains Xj3D v2.1 with a number of bugfix improvements (but no Eclipse plugins).
Xj3D viewer: NPS source

Interestingly on that, we have a draft fix to Extrusion node that is now being tested as we communicate. More to follow later this week.
As Vince indicated, there is a lot of functionality in X3D-Edit that can help several of your goals. Running as a Netbeans 8 plugin is recommended approach. Bug reports are handled and fixed.

There are also lots + lots of example scenes. Suggest you spend one of your hours surveying the landscape, it can help you sketch out your model(s).

Echoing Vince, yes please keep everyone posted. Good luck with your efforts!
all the best, Don
