No XEclipse is a "client" allowing to connect to the repository.
And WebDAV is an XWiki extension API. It allows to browse the repository 
with WebDAV client.
It's at the same level as GWT API and XMP-RPC API and REST API

However it's a bit more "application level" since the way we present the 
WebDAV repository to the user is important. It is "end-user". Thanks to 
this users will be able to browse XWiki repositories, read and edit 
files with their favorite editors, drag and drop attachments, etc...
