As part of an Eclipse Innovation Grant, the DrJava team is creating a plug-in for IBM's Eclipse development platform. This plug-in will provides several features from DrJava to Eclipse, these includes an Interactions Pane, a simplified user interface, and a debugger integrated with the Interactions Pane.

The DrJava Plug-in provides a fully functional Interactions Pane and simplified user interface ("perspective") to Eclipse. The next stage of development will integrate Eclipse's debugger with the Interactions Pane, allowing users to interact with their programs while at a breakpoint.
