Merged to `master` and `release-1.1`.
@uce I also like the symbolic link. I contacted the maintainer of the
plugin because it wouldn't be hard to fix this nowadays with Java 7+ which
supports the creation of symbolic links. I think the lack of this was the
reason why the author chose to download a binary. However, I don't know why he
didn't simply ship it with the jar which should have been possible.
