Ok, I understand now. I don't need it really, but since I use ant to deploy 
and recompile my projects, I usually compile projects with ant within eclipse 
in order to check if the build script fails or not (can be used to 
deploy/install). This is why I'd like more to keep incremental build, but 
since I got it's not really possible I will use the eclipse builder.
