Okey so when you say API Tools I understand that as the PDE API plugins' - the annotations is not what I consider API tools - thats just part of osgi/manifest versioning best practices.

Yes, if you got just  a few projects.

> Having this is IDE is more efficient, but I understand all te drawbacks, and you're free to set up your environment as you want.

The problem is there aren't no way to do this without affecting everyone else...but I guess its better we see more usage of the api tools and I and others will just have to manually disable them locally if any performance problems.
