Eclipse plug-in development using PyDev?

[James D.Murray]

Is it possible to write Eclipse plug-ins in Python using PyDev? I have a project that would benefit from using the Eclipse plug-in framework, but the sandboxed Java language is too isolated from the machine to be usable. Python is perfect, but can I use it to write Eclipse plug-ins? I've found nothing via Google except speculation.

Thanks much.

Depends on what you want to achieve… some things may be possible, but the integration is limited to customizing PyDev (i.e.: not really customizing eclipse as a whole).

There are details at: http://pydev.org/manual_articles_scripting.html

Cheers,
