The Eclim project exposes Eclipse functionality and then uses Vim as
an interface.

    Instead of trying to write a java IDE in Vim or a Vim editor in
    Eclipse, eclim provides an Eclipse plug-in that exposes Eclipse
    features through a server interface, and a set of Vim plug-ins
    that communicate with Eclipse over that interface (as illustrated
    below).
