If I understand the scenario, the OP has a 3270-based debugger product and wants to redeploy it as an Eclipse-based UI. You may want to consider implementing a command-line or packet based command interface to the product. Then, it would be simple from your Eclipse plugin to start and converse

I'm still in a bit of a quandry as to what you want to accomplish. Is this for an application which you are writing, or one which is already written by someone else. If you are writing it, why use 3270? Why not just use HTTP or some other IP protocol? Or why not just open multiple 3270
