I put some basic documentation on how to setup Eclipse workspace for working with m2eclipse code. http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Configuring+Development+Environment
It may see bit lengthy, but things actually quite simple. You can import the following Eclipse Team Project Sets (PSF) using "File / Import... / Team / Team Project Set" wizard and it would bring all required projects into your Eclipse workspace (this PSF is based on Subclipse). https://svn.sonatype.org/m2eclipse/trunk/org.maven.ide.eclipse.parent/m2eclipse-all.psf
Once you get all projects, you should be able to run m2eclipse in self-hosted mode. Open org.maven.ide.eclipse/plugin.xml with PDE's Plug-in manifest editor and then click "Launch an Eclipse application" link on the Overview page. You can also use main menu "Run / Run configurations..." to create new launch configuration using "Eclipse Application" cofiguration type. There you can also select JRE used to run Eclipse and what plugins should be included at runtime (use "all workspace and enabled target plug-ins, or select them individually and use "Validate Plug-ins" action to verify if selected configuration is correct).
Here are few last tips for contributing patches. http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Contributing+Patches Happy coding Eugene --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
