Hi. 
I'm kind of new to Eclipse, but seems a nice enough IDE.  
Just read the plug in tutorial, and I have an engine I wrote in C- which I 
want to make to an Eclipse plugin. (My engine goes over a given code and 
checks it and does all sorts of things. Works great from the command line 
in the shell...) 
In the plugin tutorial- they only said that I can build plugings in Java. 
 
Is there anyway to integrate my plugin (which is compiled into a binary 
file now) into Eclipse- without building it anew in Java? 
 
Basicly - my plugin gets a text file, and returns a text file. There's got 
to be a way to make Eclipse use it...

What about building a thin JNI wrapper? Then you could easily build your 
plugin around that.

If your app can be called from the commandline, you should just be able to 
do a Runtime.exec() call with the proper arguments. That would be simpler 
than building a JNI wrapper, if your program fits that model.
