title: What's the simplest way to get Eclipse running in a web browser?
body: <p>I was looking at the <a href="http://eclim.org/" rel="nofollow">eclim</a> project and realized that if a headless Eclipse instance can be integrated within vim why not with a client running over a browser. I'd like to do a proof of concept that simply lets me see the project explorer and the contents of any file I select. I don't have a lot of experience with SWT or the Eclipse Runtime but here's what I'm envisioning as a first step:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   eclipse headless runtime 
         &lt;-- local --&gt; 
  some plugin that talks to node 
         &lt;-- cloud --&gt; 
        node.js server
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does something like this (a) sound feasible and (b) what are the specific components I should look into?</p>
