This is probably the canonically worst place to start. We have a
complex build environment and an byzantine Ant builder.

Problem number one.  You really do need to have everything configured
_before_ you import them.  In the meantime, uncheck Build
Automatically under the project menu.  I can hear Mike moaning
already.  :-)  The Ant build is slooooow compared to the incremental
and having it kick off all the time will quickly make you suicidal.

There should have been a README.html when you unpacked the source.
You need to read this and follow every little step.


Ah.. This was within another sub folder, a dead ringer though: UsingEclipse.

That is because it caused Eclipse to throw an exception internally
during the import and the import never completed.   My advice: just
import GVCFoundation to start with.  Get it building correctly with
no error.  Only then import the others.

They were not fully imported as the projects are referencing
something that you have not setup in Eclipse or your login environment.
