I see more clearly how all those classes work together now. So I'm looking 
where the problem could come from (for instance, contexts are not properly 
found, which makes the rest not foud either)

I see how this could be complicated. Maybe the whole java sources will have to 
be loaded (at least the functions definitions and variables) when the plugin 
is loaded. But the user will have to provide the java source code...

For most cases, I have a look at the kdev-php code.

I actually had a developer account for svn, but I haven't used it in a while 
now. I'm not event sure that the public key I provided for that account is the 
one I used now...
I'll send the first patch to reviewboard.

Thanks,

Detlev.
