The bug has been fixed and released in Eclipse 4.3.2 (Kepler SR2),
I updated the note:

So, just use an up-to-date Eclipse and you're fine.

Nah, it's not that bad.
By the way, I also proposed a change some time ago to enable use with M2E,
which would have made the steps just be "clone, import into Eclipse",
but it was rejected out of fear of slowing down builds:
