If there's a difference between the two, then I don't know it. I just
sticked to the syntax I currently use in all of my scripts, which by
the way, if the two are equivalent, looks clearer to me. I've been
exchanging e-mails with Jonathan for quite some time, now. Yesterday I
sent him the link to my blog and he still hasn't said anything... I'm
still waiting for his critics. If he has some to make, that is :)

Same question: is this better in some way? What's the real difference?

This is a great idea, I'll look into it.

Same command (only with -C switch, but that makes no difference). I
got a lot of "Write request too large", same thing that happened here:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15746 (and somewhere else,
but it's not very common, so I found no solution).

That was when I didn't really understand how the eclipse plugin system
worked :) Subclipse provided its own version of mylyn, but its
features were jarred, so they weren't detected. At the time I solved
removing mylyn's jars from subclipse and adding eclipse-mylyn as a
dependency. That didn't work very well because I couldn't update mylyn
to the latest release. The problem is now solved.
