Hi everybody!

So far, I have not worked with IDEs a lot, as in my usual field (HPC), IDEs
are not as usable as one would think.

So far, I have been working on JabRef with netbeans. However, as I now
start to work on my C++/C-projects with eclipse, I'd like to use it for
jabref as well. (I'll also give a try to IntelliJ IDEA).
Unfortunately, I was not able to get it running. When I manage, I pledge to
write a developer's guide for it.

Also, a devel guide for gradlew might be a good idea.

So here is what I tried:

1. I can run JabRef using "./gradlew run", so my system in principle
provides everything that is needed.

2. I used ./gradlew eclipse to generate the project files, and imported the
project. I can now work with the files, all right, but I can't run the
project.

3. I created a run configuration, "Java Application", using the main class
"net.sf.jabref.JabRefMain".. Running it, I get:

ERROR while starting or running JabRef:

java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:

at net.sf.jabref.JabRef.main(JabRef.java:84)
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
 at
sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57)

 at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606)
at net.sf.jabref.JabRefMain.main(JabRefMain.java:83)

4. In the "Problems" tab, I see 96 errors, most of which are:
  * "_JabRefPlugin cannot be resolved to a type"
  * "BstLexer cannot be resolved to a type"
  * "ExportFormatTemplateExtension cannot be resolved to a type"

That looked to me like problems with generated source files. So I tried
"./gradlew generateSource". this did not help, unfortunately.

So, what am I missing? How do I get eclipse to compile and run it?
