    That is true. The incremental build is just faster (and probably more
    buggy).

    Did you try it? Did it work? Tell me that it works great, please!

    Yes?

    Yes. The Build after JavaBuild disables (AFAIK) the actual building, but it
    doesn't remove the builder. The incremental builder ignores the flag (since
    it's much faster, anyway -- and then because it comes from a place without
    such a flag ... ok, I'll stop repeating that. Tomorrow, promised.)

    It attaches the WOLips Project Nature to the project, much like the with the
    Sysdeo Tomcat plugin (which is where I stole the idea). This means you can
    convert a plain JavaProject into a WOLips Project with this checkbox. (It
    looked like the simplest way of getting the natures attached, from the
    user's point of view, no wizards, just a simple Checkbox in plain sight.)
