There's slime for J (http://armedbear-j.sourceforge.net/); AFAIK its author uses it for interaction with ABCL, SBCL (and probably XCL). I'm not sure it's documented anywhere, but you can always ask on one of the mailing lists here: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=55057.
Another option (although I haven't tried it so can't comment on how well it might work) is cusp (slime-devel@common-lisp.net) - a SWANK-based plugin for Eclipse. -- Bill Clementson

I have got CUSP, it's 'good' but I don't really like Eclipse much... it just seems to have far too many windows and to my mind is not 'real programming' whereas SLIME+EMACS feels like a comfy pair of slippers now. Sean On 22 Mar 2007, at 14:09, Bill Clementson wrote:

I've been playing with Eclipse for Java development. It has some nifty features, mostly in terms of the automated refactoring, but also some wildly annoying behaviors --- at least three different search modalities, for instance. (Obligatory blogged rant: http://repinvariant.blogspot.com/2007/03/universal-search-and-select.html ) All that said, at a quick glance it looks like Joe has windows-y keybindings. Eclipse defaults to windows-y keybinding as well, so you (Duncan) probably ought to check it out and see what you think. Jeremy Sean Charles <sean.charles@objitsu.com> writes:

As far as Windows-y keybindings are concerned there's of course also CUA mode for Emacs. I've never used it, but some people seem to love it. Don't know if it works with SLIME or if there are any problems. http://www.cua.dk/ And of course LispWorks' IDE (which is really, really good anyway) offers Windows-y keybinding as an option as well. http://www.lispworks.com/products/lispworks.html To add some SLIMY features to the LispWorks IDE see for example here: http://weitz.de/lw-add-ons/ Cheers, Edi.
