I solved this on my own, finally..  (with an external hint actually)

Here's how I solved it if someone need it.

Apparently the SoapBindingStub is automatically created when needed 
(when the wsdl exceed a certain number of definitions I think)

In my case it wasn't needed.

And this class is NOT generated by the wsdl2java.

It's generated by Eclipse doing:

File -> New -> Other (CTRL+N)
look for Web Services -> Web Service Client

select a WSDL, a runtime environment (tomcat 6 for example) and the 
project that will contain the generated classes.

This does exactly the same of the wsdl2java + the proxy class.
It apparently automatically choose to use axis1 or 2 depending on the 
wsdl itself.

I initially tough of seeing if Eclipse had something like that, but my 
eclipse installation didn't.

That option is bundled in Eclipse if you download the "Eclipse IDE for 
Java EE Developers" version. I had indigo.

Be aware that I had some Eclipse plugin that, for some reason, removed 
the Web Service Client option (and Axis preferences) - this was the 
reason it took me so much time... I do not know which was the plugin 
causing the issue, if that happen to you just use a clean Eclipse EE to 
generate it.
