Better IDE integration

As I understand it, the recommended approach for integrating bzr with a
(non-python) IDE is to execute bzr commands and use the XML option to
produce something that can be easily parsed, right?

I've been using the bzr4j plugin for IntelliJ IDEA, which AFAIK uses
this approach, and the main drawback is that for operations which take
some time there is no feedback to the user because, I assume, the plugin
has to wait for the entire XML output to be written before it can parse it.

What are the chances of a Java implementation of a bzr client library?
Would it be possible to use Jython to write a wrapper around bzrlib?

Or a different mechanism for out-of-process interaction with the
standard bzr client that allows for better interactivity?

Ciao,
Gordon
