=========================== Using the tools source =========================== Since the source for the tools has a dependency on the eclipse classes. one has to run the ant build file (create-project.xml) to generate a relevant eclipse project from the source. [use the ant -f create-project.xml command] Once the projects are generated (which can be found in the newly created eclipse_project directory) they can be opened in the Eclipse PDE for building and editing. The tool sources are not included in the build Note - The plugins are specifially for Eclipse version 3.0 and up
