Yes, I know that but these are usually IDE specific (you have to build/run your 
project directly from the IDE). This might serve as a common way of doing 
things in IDE and on CLI. It won't be as advanced as those assistants in IDEs 
but then again - that's not our goal, just some basic support will do for now.

Those who don't use Eclipse will still have the CLI toolset we are working on 
right now. Also we don't prevent anyone to come and build support for other 
IDEs :-)

Thanks
