I had another look at these projects and you may be interested in using 
Jepp in Pydev as I believe that you ould use it to execute inline 
CPython from inside a Java program.  Jep uses the Jni to allow Java to 
call CPython.

As I understand it, you currently spawn separate processes for CPython 
components of Pydev, I think Jepp would let you run these components 
synchronously or inside a Java task.

But Jep (presumably jep.dll) presently does seem to require a custom 
build for each pair (JRE version, Python version).

I have not tried Jep because it will require some (difficult for me) 
build work to get it running on my machine.
