To have your DSL editor working you need to install some plugins into Eclipse. Those plugins correspond to the projects Xtext creates for you (org.eclipse.xtext.mydsl, org.eclipse.xtext.mydsl.ui, etc.); the reason why you need to open a new Eclipse instance is because your current Eclipse (let's call it your development Eclipse) injects those plugins into a new instance, so you can try the editor.
Now, you normally install plugins in Eclipse by using an update site (a URL pointing to a directory containing several jar files -Eclipse plugins-). To do this you click Help > Install new software, and paste that URL in the text box. What Christian is suggesting to you, is to create a local update site for your DSL, so you can manually install the DSL plugins in your development eclipse. I think this would make your development process a little slower than just right click > run as...
