I do not see anything on using the Eclipse debug facilities so I'm gathering it is virgin turf. But since I just installed eclim (2.2.5 on Mac OS X ML running a developer's Emacs instance, i.e. 24.3+) I could easily have missed something.
In any case, it strikes me that having the Eclipse debugger work from Emacs would be very handy. I am likely to work towards that goal if I find that eclim is pretty much ready for prime time in that it works well for the set of things that it currently does.
Unfortunately there's not much in way of accessing the eclipse debugger from emacs. As far as I know, the underlying eclim libraries do not support it, and I suspect it would be a mammoth task to implement.
In my day to day workflow I run eclipse and emacs in parallell. I do the editing and trivial refactoring in emacs, but switch to eclipse when I need to debug or do complex refactoring. For me it's the best of both worlds.
