Yep, it is. I have some new stuff in the CVS and on my machine, and I'm
going for a 0.2 release just before EclipseCon 2007.

Cool!
Do you know http://pydev.sourceforge.net/
The maintainer added some scripting support in it as far as I know, but
maybe he'd be interested in EclipseShell Jython support additionally.

OK. I suppose you know this:
http://eclipse-shell.sourceforge.net/devs/index.html

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Hmm... do you run Jython in the same VM as Eclipse or externally?
If you run it internally, your ExecutionEnvironment could just send the
output of an operation directly to the OutputStream (it's handed an
OutputStream that goes to the Console).
