I hit reply to author last time, sorry.

It now compiles and KDevelop loads it properly (I would say that kdev-php and 
kdev-java are based on each other, as the code is a comparable.)

It still doesn't work properly and, for instance, doesn't find errors 
(System.out.printlnThatDoesNotExist("Hello world"); is not underlined, which 
it should be I suppose...)
I'll keep looking into ParseJob::run() which is the most probable place that 
makes it not working.

Also, autocompletion doesn't work but I haven't got there yet (except for 
porting)

Also, I created a kdevelop template. Can the kdev-java plugin provide such 
templates when it is installed (for instance : CMake and Java) ?

Is there something like an Ant plugins yet ?

Finally, how do you prefer getting the code ? I committed it into my local git 
repo, in master. Mail ? Reviewboard ? Something else ?

Thanks !
