I'm the primary developer for Octclipse, I'm more than willing to work with anyone interested in helping. The lack of activity springs primarily from my lack of need, ie. I don't use Octave. I wrote it to learn some things with Eclipse itself. Most of the development it sees lately is when I periodically update the C++ interfaces to support whatever changes in API octave has undergone since my last update.
Aha, but you do follow the octave-maintainers' list :).What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of your Octave/Eclipse GUI vs. other octave-specific projects like QtOctave and OctaveDE? Do you think there are any fundamental reasons one might be better than another--i.e. that you can't do certain things in X because of Y? On one hand, Eclipse has a lot of 'batteries included' modules, on the other hand custom GUI might have an easier time accessing large internal data structures, just because Eclipse is not designed to deal with such and may not have good facilities for them.
