Advantages:
1. You get access to other plugins from the Ecliple ecosystem ie.
integrated version control, bugtracking, etc.
2. It integrates into a developers workflow easier if they already
using Eclipse for some other purpose already.
Disadvantages:
1. Licensing incompatability ensures the only way to integrate the two
will be at arms length through some form of IPC mechanism.
