a lot more benefits. I think an open "plugin-based" IDE like EclipseEmacs is most likely a very hard program to embed as it is written in C and uses a nasty system call to avoid the bootstrap process of loading the system (which takes some time). It is not only for loading the lisp-system with data, but also C structures. Mac OS X has this system call solely for supporting Emacs.
can do much, much more.. by actually embedding Emacs within the IDE as
a true component plugin, much like it allows the embedding of multiple
HTML/JSP editors, viewers or VCM tools etc.
Naturally it would be possible to create an interface for letting Emacs talk to Eclipse, but I think it would be a lot of work to make it do anything reasonable.
I have found that I can register emacs as an editor in Eclipse, and then use Open with to fire an Emacs process. Eclipse is then aware that this file may change outside of Eclipse, so that the "You need to refresh" error is avoided.
If anybody would do something to move Emacs in the Java world, a port of the Lisp-engine would be a major step in the right direction.
