What's wrong with how most shells do it (IDLE, pycrust, standard command
line interactive shell) ?
I'm not sure how it's implemented, but basically if the line you type is a
complete statement all by itself, then it's executed, otherwise you get a
different "continuation" prompt and indented lines to type the rest of the
function.  Maybe there's a special exception thrown to indicate an
incomplete statement?

Maybe there's a way to make it a completely separate panel type rather than
piggy-backing on the console?  (Of course, I don't know anything about
Eclipse internals so that may just be impossible).

Keep up the good work!
