What's the simplest way to get Eclipse running in a web browser?

I was looking at the eclim project and realized that if a headless Eclipse instance can be integrated within vim why not with a client running over a browser. I'd like to do a proof of concept that simply lets me see the project explorer and the contents of any file I select. I don't have a lot of experience with SWT or the Eclipse Runtime but here's what I'm envisioning as a开发者_Go百科 first step:

   eclipse headless runtime 
       <-- local --> 
some plugin that talks to node 
       <-- cloud --> 
      node.js server

Does something like this (a) sound feasible and (b) what are the specific components I should look into?

Take a look at the Eclipse RAP (Rich Ajax Platform) project. It can get you there.
