revert attempt to avoid Eclipse build loops
"We need a way the refresh the created jar file in Eclipse. Doing it directly in Jar.launch does not work for some reasons I still do not completely understand. So Refresh.launch is the workaround for that problem. Unfortunately the Refresh.launch needs to be async and that causes the well known build loop. Setting the Refresh.launch not to be async does sadly not help." -Christian Humer
