There may be another way to handle this. You can set emacs to reload a
buffer if its file changes. I found that very useful when working in
Visual Studio, way back when (don't ask), and for sundry other
purposes. If you can set Eclipse and vi to do the same, you can toggle
between the two as needed.
You can, and I do that on occasion when I need to make a lot of "text
editing" changes. However, what I *really* want is the ability to move
around text with hjkl and edit with the usual vim keystrokes *and* have
auto-complete, syntax highlighting, refactoring, automatic building, and
all the other niceties of Eclipse *while* I'm editing vimmishly. (Of
course vim has some of those features, either built-in or available as
plugins, but I'm talking about fully integrated goodness.) That's also why
I'm not really interested in simply being able to embed vim inside of my
Eclipse window.
