jVi is designed for embedding into Java applications. The core is ported from "C" (vim) to Java and is independent of GUI and platform. The only GUI port is to Java's Swing (eclipse's SWT has been requested). Runs on NetBeans and JBuilder platforms. Development is active for NetBeans. For core debugging, jVi can be run as a standalone swing app without ':w', but clipboard works.
