I took a look, looks cool and seems to work!

Something that will have to be ironed out is redirection of streams, I
noticed that Standard Out went into the *Messages* buffer, but that
shouldn't be too hard to hook up.

I opened a comment for the only issue I ran into when installing this

be make useful here soon! (to me, useful means I can compile or check
compilation from a Java buffer)
