Followed all those steps, It seems that eclipse does not recognise vim
as an ole component, It can recognise ie and word, so theoretically it
can be done.
What I did do get better integration with eclipse is to write a one line .bat
like so...
gvim.exe --remote-silent %1
And associated the non java files to the bat file, that way it opens
non-java files in the same instance of vim, and with the tab plugin I
get close to what I wanted.
Still if any one knows how to get vim to work as an ole component in
eclipse that would be nice.
Thanks for all the help

1. You should use gvim.exe, not vim.exe
2. Your gvim version should have OLE support compiled-in (e.g., "with
OLE support" should appear on one of the first five lines in the output
of the ":version" command).
3. Your gvim program should be registered with Windows as an OLE server.
It normally does that (with a yes/no prompt) the first time it is run;
or you can run "gvim -register" to make sure that it does register
itself. You may need to log in to Windows on an administrator account to
do that.
See
:help -register
:help -unregister
4. I don't know Eclipse. You may have to tell it that gvim is available
as an OLE server.
5. Please read ":help if_ole.txt" (the whole help file) attentively. If
you have Visual Basic, Python, or Perl, you may try the examples given
there to see how the result resembles, or differs from, what you see
under Eclipse.
Best regards,
Tony.
