Without the intention to discourage anyone from any other project:
Please consider that eclipse is not _that_ java.
Especially the GUI part, where SWT instead of AWT gives you all the
speed you need, and unless you are about to invent something totally
unique in the field of IDE-s, the "eclipse platform" is supposed to
provide you high level components for everything you need. So, in
theory, there's hardly any GUI programming left to do.

We are considering the option of porting our application to the
eclipse platform, and our only consern sofar is migrating our
awt/swing-based custom widgets.
