Yes your trick works. I think it doesn't kill the eclipse because

Ah, right. Thanks for explaining that. It means that one needs to be
careful as you might kill other java-based software nevertheless.

This is becoming an increasingly common request on this list. After the 0.7 release I will create a release for the plugin and make it available via the Eclipse upgrade mechanism.
