Workspace Worms!

The Lotus Notes Workspace. Love it or hate it. Can't live with it, can't live without it.
But don't get mad at it, get even!
The screenshot below shows the aftermath of a napalm strike by Mary Beth on Ben and Volker.
From a technical point of view the plug-in is fairly straight forward. The real heavy-lifting is done by the TPFM framework which let's us control any existing application from within Eclipse. In this example I'm using it to control an embedded instance of the fantastic Worms Armageddon game.
The plug-in first takes a snapshot of the selected Workspace tab and does some basic image processing to create an image suitable for using as a level in Worms.
The image is used to automatically create the new level and then TPFM launches the new level in Worms. Simples!

The biggest problem is that the gap between the workspace icons is too large and it's too easy for the worms to fall into the water when they get knocked about. If I scale the image down by 30% or so it would be more playable.
@2 Friendly fire is ON.
