Okay, I see the references to "projects" in the instructions that are causing you alarm. In that context a "project" is an Eclipse project. The GWT project has several distinct Eclipse project configurations within a single SVN repository. The Eclipse setup instructions referenced in step 1 of Setup for Eclipse are actually the instructions for setting up Eclipse to build GWT, not the Incubator. It's having you configure CheckStyle, set formatting rules, and other things that probably won't matter if you aren't contributing code. If you want to contribute changes (and you're certainly encouraged to do so!) then you'll want to get the nit-picky formatting details right, but otherwise you don't need to bother with that.
And if all you want to do is run Ant, you don't even need to setup Eclipse.
