Yep, it is.

I hope someone starts writing an emacs interface to Eclim [1] anytime
soon.  I had a quick look at the sources and it shouldn't be too hard,
but it's quite a lot to do (to get all eclipse features).

To me it seems that most java programmers use eclipse (or netbeans)
anyway or switched to eclipse/NB, and there's noone feels preasured to
enhance emacs in that direction.  And you can count me as one of those,
sadly.  But I'm pretty sure that if someone would create an emacs
interface to let's say only the autocompletion feature of eclipse using
eclim, things would get running on their own.

Bye,
