Jirr in an Eclipse plug-in

Has anyone been successful using Jirr/Irrlicht as a view inside an Eclipse plug-in?
If not, would anyone have an idea how much worse the rendering performance might be for something like this versus a C++ app using standard Irrlicht?

Do you mean you're developing something with jirr using Eclipse as the JDK? Or what do you mean?

I mean trying to use Jirr as part of an Eclipse RCP plug-in, not a standard Java application.

There's no reason why you can't as long as Jirr can render to a java.awt.Canvas. With Eclipse you won't have any rendering order issues because it doesn't use Swing. Having said that, since JDK 1.6 u12, AWT and Swing play nice with each other, meaning Swing components can be rendered atop AWT components. This means that the NetBeans platform is now a viable alternative for your project.
