Has anyone looked into *full* integration of Emacs as the Java editor into
Eclipse? I am not talking about the Emacs keybinding support in Java Editor
but actual embedding of Emacs into Eclipse. With that I do not mean that
emacs frame has to appear where a Styled Text widget of Java Editor appears
though.

For SWT gurus: Is this feasible? i.e. embedding Emacs as a editor pane.
For JDT and Platform gurus: Does this make sense? What kinds of services are
expected from an object that can be used as an Editor in Eclipse. Which
interfaces are must? Which interfaces are optional? for example:

Text insertion, deletion, query
Cursor movement and query
Selection
Highlighting
Fonts -family,style,color
Keyboard Input
Mouse Input


JDEE <http://jdee.sunsite.dk> has a Beanshell
<http://www.beanshell.org>integration with Emacs. Beanshell could act as a
bridge between Emacs (lisp) and Eclipse.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but there's this:

http://people.csail.mit.edu/people/adonovan/hacks/eclipse-em acs.html

From the webpage: " The Emacs Plug-in for Eclipse is an editor plug-in
for Eclipse that allows files (and also Java classes and methods, and
compilation errors) to be opened within a running instance of Emacs."

Another project is RemoteEclipse, available at:

ftp://ftp.raffael.ch/software/RemoteEclipse/

From the README (I can't find a webpage):

,----
| RemoteEclipse in combination with jde-eclipse.el is the beginning
| of a wonderful relationship between JDEE and Eclipse.
|
| Currently it provides the following features:
|
| - Notification of Eclipse about file changes. Eclipse will then
| take the appropriate actions just as if the file had been saved
| within the IDE.
|
| - If a file isn't known to the workspace yet, it will automatically
| be added.
|
| - Retrieving the list of problems. This list may be filtered either
| based on the project name, the resource or the message using
| regexps.
|
| - Correct handling of remote machines. You can actually even run
| Emacs on a Linux machine and Eclipse on a Windoze machine. Every-
| thing will work correctly as long as both use the same workspace
| directory.
|
| - Manual building.
|
| - Retrieving class and source path from the current project
| settings.
|
| It's been tested with Eclipse 2.0.2, Eclipse 2.1M4, WebSphere
| Application Developer 4.0.3 and WebSphere Application Developer 5.0
| using JDEE 2.3.2 and FSF Emacs 21.

If you can get Emacs to take a parent X Windows id as an argument, then yes,
it should be possible.
