Yes, it's exactly what it does, but executing the ant file outside eclipse
from command-line require lots of xml
files to configure, and there is very few documentation for that.. I'll try
to find examples.

Yes i agree, if you use your own eclipse to compile the plugin project, it
will configure and compile it for you.

The .jar is a bit more than 512k  :)
I think it is good to put it for the release (most people won't compile it
(who did it? :-) ).

I'll update the editor/eclipse git with the jar for now :) at release time
we'll make up the packages properly.
