I figured I should send this to the dev list rather than the user list where
I first sent it to.  BTW, I searched the dev archive for eclipse and only
found something from 2003 which is probably outdated.  (also, I'm relatively
new to Eclipse, used to do things in vi and on command-line before)  Here
goes:

How does one step through source in Eclipse?  What IDE do you all use?  How
do you set it up?

My failed attempt:
  - first, used mvn to successfully build
james-server-3.0-M2-source-release.zip
  - second, created project in Eclipse based on the same folder as mvn build
  - third, got *inexplicable* errors e. g. AbstractHasMailAttributeTest
cannot be resolved to a type at line 32
in HasMailAttributeWithValueRegexTest.java
  - fourth, searched entire folder including inside all .jar files and .java
files but could not find AbstractHasMailAttributeTest anywhere
  - fifth, did not see any import for AbstractHasMailAttributeTest in
HasMailAttributeWithValueRegexTest.java
  - finally, many similar inexplicable errors -- makes me wonder how mvn was
able to build it?

My reason for wanting to step through code -- the config documentation is
out of date and I want to set up a mailet-based mail server application.
 Since I am flying blind and don't know how to set up users, etc. I decided
to just step through code and understand what's going on.

Any updates on ETA for a full release including documentation?

Thanks!!
