Well, after about 20 commits to my sourcecode repository I am really proud to say that a Java version of SlicerPro is now integrated into LDPartEditor.
The main difference of this tool is really interesting: It works for every possible direction.
I had to do some tricks to make sure that the precision is perfect, but however, it works now.
Basically, you will have to do the following steps to use this tool:

This was a screenshot from a first implementation. The triangles were not condensed into quads.

Basically, you will have to do the following steps to use this tool:
- (optional) Hide everything which is not the target surface of the projection (a surface which is not hit by the projection will not be modified, surfaces from subfiles will be ignored unless you inline them)
- Adjust the camera from one of the 3D views to match the direction in which you want to project
- Select your pattern
- Re-select the 3D view for the projection (while holding CTRL to not loose your selection)
- Open the SlicerPro II dialog
- Hit the OK button
