You could start contributing the documentation on how to setup the environment. 1. You can start adding a section here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP/Build/WTP_Developer_Installation_Quick_Guide 2. If you need help, please ask in https://mattermost.eclipse.org/eclipse/channels/webtools or Eclipse IRC: #eclipse or #eclipse-dev Here's the instructions, in a nutshell: - You need an IDE and a TP (Target Platform). As IDE you can use Eclipse for RCP Developers and as target Platform you can use Eclipse JEE. - Here is a video explaining how to setup such an Ide for the JSDT (JavaSscript DevTools), a subproject of WTP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFxfuudlau8 - follow this video until minute 5.26. Then, instead of importing JSDT projects (like in the video), you should import the WTP projects you want to work on. - Here you find the list of all the WebTools repos: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/webtools/developer (to work with gerrit, you should clone using the Gerrit URI [link <https://youtu.be/kFRwt0RgYR4?t=26s>]) Suggestion: - don't import all the WTP projects *Kind Regards,* *Patrik SuzziSoftware **Engineer, Eclipse* *Platform UI Committer* *https://about.me/psuzzi <https://about.me/psuzzi>*
