I will try it this week end. I've just downloaded Jedit. I use Eclipse every 
day and the Swing interface of Jedit is ... well...
If the lily plugin is powerful it will be ok. I will try it and give you my 
first impressions.

Maybe similar but different ... I know... It means contruct a plugin from 
scratch.. but it would be interesting and maybe more beautiful. Eclipse is 
slow at startup but it would be a more beautiful jewel case for our lily 
scores than the Swing based Jedit. I think I will try to evaluate the work, 
in particular if lilypond could be port in java and / or on windows.
