[news.eclipse.technology] Re: Non IDE application Based on Eclipse.

Kraythe,

It's very possible, even with Eclipse 2.1.  Genuitec has a very active
consulting practice that has been assisting companies in doing exactly what
you're interested in for quite some time.  I believe the first paper to
propose this idea was written by one of our VP's over a hear ago and is
available here:
