Generate imports list for Java File

I'm writing some Java code in vim and really miss the feature afforded by the IDEs such that I can type up a block of code, and after a few keystrokes have the IDE infer which imports it should place at the top of my file based on the classes I've used in my code.

Anyone know of a way to achieve this functionality in vim? I'm thinking a command-line tool I can shell to for the file being edited. The tool would ideally dump the imports to the screen after it's analysed my Java file.

It seems to boil down to two different approaches, ones like Amir suggested where some process generates a mapping file from classes on the file system, or the approach I ended up taking where the plugin communicates real-time to a process that does the heavy lifting (Eclipse).

So I chose Eclim, seems antithetical to vim's light weight mantra, but in the end was the best featured approach.
