Thanks for this.

None of these seem to be ready for prime time and they are not really 
what I have in mind.  I was wondering how to invoke existing CPython 
stuff from a Jython script in Pydev.

Given that there does not seem to be anything worth using I am assuming 
that you run at least some of Pydev's Python code in a separate process 
rather that in-process?  For stuff like BRM which I doubt you would have 
ported that to Jython.  I wonder what else is in straight Python?

Did you develop a standard protocol for this that could be exposed to 
the scripting interface?  Or would it be straightforward to do this 
directly in Jython.

In more general terms, it would be very interesting to read an 
architectural overview of the design of Pydev.
