Hello Bogdan!
I am glad that we have sorted the main issue out.
I have some more comments and answers (below):

I think we will have to come back to this eventually. ;-)

My opinion, that I am trying to advocate here, is that this work should
be done now, ASAP. It will take you, in this case I am relying on you
and Tom, some time to do it without affecting the non-Eclipse version
but this will be a big improvement for ArgoUML. Among other things, the
GUI-component, described in the Cookbook, will finally be well-defined.

Actually, there are three different way to download the jars. It is the
zip version (traditionally for Windows), the tar.gz version
(traditionally for Unix) and the app.tgz (for Mac). The distinction
between zip and tar.gz is nowadays pointless since almost all Unix
installations have programs to unpack zip files and since windows
installations have programs to unpack .tar.gz files. And we haven't
bothered to provide different bootstrap files in the different set of
files because that would just complicate things.

What I need to do is to write down my ideas on how ArgoUML releases are
built and deployed in the multi-project environment that we now use.
