This is great work done by Jun. Well done! Now we just need to wrap it up, fix 
the few remaining bugs (I'm going to list several I've found already).

Honestly I'm not sure if we need this one. It seems a bit complex to me. 
However since we have it now we may want to keep it (or not, I haven't reviewed 
the code so I don't know how nice it is and how generic it is).

However I'd like to propose at some point that we drop the XMLRPC support in 
XEclipse since:
- it's old and less well maintained than the REST API
- I don't think we need confluence compatibility anymore

This is awesome.

I've found some slowness, I'll report them.

I've updated all theses issues in JIRA with the correct state, closing them 
when it's been done, setting the correct version, etc.

Indeed, well done Jun, let's continue and release it!
