Built-in is an Eclipse RCP deployment of the Entity Modeler plugins
(meaning 98% the same code). Built in will always stay (and be the
preferred version, in fact). This is for people who would rather
use, say, IDEA or NetBeans as their development environment. Why
you'd want to do that when WOLips is so awesome, who knows, but some
do. Only built-in will be able to eventually do things like support
refactoring from models to java, etc because the standalone does not
include Java support.
