Iam attempting to try and contribute a fix that would allow MacVim and
Eclim(http://eclim.org) to work together. I have a thread started in
the Eclim Google group(http://groups.google.com/group/eclim-dev/
browse_thread/thread/4324a6de13f9b60d). It summarizes well what is the
current hang up. In Windows and Linux, Eclim has a hack working that
allows embedding of gvim in Eclipse.

Currently Iam trying to figure out two important details:

1. We need to see if we can grab a handle for the container that will
house the embedded MacVim. Currently, (and I don't know how they
figured it out for the other platforms), I don't even know what the
handles name might be, since Eclims method uses reflection to get it.
My current step is to see If I can through reflection, discover the
Mac handle name. Once that is obtained then I can obtain the id. (if
it even exists)

2. Next I would need to be able to pass the id in through the command
line to MacVim so that it can embed.

At this point I may just be on a wild goose chase, since Im not sure
if it is possible on mac to embed like I am trying to do. But as long
as the eclipse version being used is the Cocoa release, there should
be no incompatibilities between it and MacVim.

I would appreciate any input as I see this functionality as being
extremely useful.
