Great news. Thanks for keeping us informed.

Actually, I'm very fine to build it form the sources. The only problem I
have is that nothing gets committed to CVS as the changes are made ... I
think that would help if :

1/ changes were committed to CVS as you made them,
2/ CVS emails were sent to the dev list (or cvs-dev list)

I would certainly love 1/ and 2/ and could probably help a little as my
knowledge of Eclipse API increases.

Yes, incremental compilation will really be a boon.

Thanks,
