It's a pity that it doesn't support Java, it's more or less also a C family language (if one puts Objective-C and C++ in same bucket as pure C).

Or maybe someone tried it in Java?

I would really like to have better support for Java in vim(just editing and code completion, I don't debugger in vim). Do you know some useful plugins for this? I tried several (I don't remember the names) and I'm back to old omnicomplete that's in vim.

This is because this plugin employs clang to gather information for autocomplete.

I'm curious to find out how much effort it would take to extend this to other compiled languages. I don't know enough about javac or GCJ to say.

It seems to be working with Java...with almost all the functionality eclipse's autocomplete has, as far as I can tell.
eclim works really well for me, though it may be a bit too powerful (i.e. it does everything eclipse does, which includes debugger).
Really? I found eclim to be quite slow when I was using it last year. I would wait one to two seconds for an autocomplete menu to pop up.

Fortunately I haven't had to do any Java recently.

Unfortunately I'm a IntelliJ IDEA guy, so configuring projects in eclipse just to use it in vim would be an overkill.
