[jdt-core-dev] Known defects with new builder

In the released version of the JDTCore, the new builders has the following 
known defects:

- it may incrementally recompile more than it should inside the same 
project for a one method body change. The problem resides in our classfile 
comparison which had a bug, leading to incorrectly diagnose structural 
changes. This defect is now resolved, and the fix will soon be available.
- when turned on, evaluation does not work. The new builder isn't yet 
fully backward compatible with all the components, and evaluation is 
broken. You have to revert to using the old builder if intending to use 
evaluation. This item is being addressed.

And still:
- it does not persist its state/
- it does not deal super-well with cross-project dependencies (i.e. it 
will recompile dependents of any file which got recompiled in a prereq 
project). Note that the old builder had the same problem.
