Hi,

Does the eclipse plugin need to launch another VM ?
This will probably make it harder to integrate, and
takes up more resources

    The DrJava plugin does run the Interactions pane in a seperate VM.

    By default Eclipse automatically recompiles the source. If this option is enabled,
    the Interactions would constantly be reset. I'm not sure what the most ideal
    behavior should be.

    There's also the basic reason that bugs (e.g. infinite
    loops) in interactions pane statements should not kill the
    IDE. This is the reason DrJava launches a second JVM for
    interactions, and the same logic applies in Eclipse.
