1. Install the tools

   1. Maven 3
   2. Java SE JDK 78
   3. Subversion Client (command-line or UI-based, like TortoiseSvn)
   4. Eclipse IDE (Kepler 3.8 or earlier, must be RCP Development Edition)

2. Set up your directories

   1. Linux

      Code Block
      $ cd ~ $ mkdir -p marketcetera/workspaces/base/code

   2. Windows
      Create the same directory structure from your root device, like C:\metc\workspaces\base\code. Keep it as short as possible as there's a limitation in Windows on the length of filenames.

3. Download the source

   Code Block
   $ cd ~/marketcetera/workspaces/base/code $ svn co https://source.marketcetera.org/root/trunk public

4. Build the source

   Code Block
   $ cd metc $ mvn -DskipTests clean install eclipse:eclipse

5. Start Eclipse

   1. Set your workspace to marketcetera/workspaces/base
   2. Set the target platform (Windows->Preferences->Plug-in Development->Target Platform)
      1. Select Add to create a new target platform
      2.  Start with Nothing and click Next
      3. Name your target Marketcetera and click Add
      4. Choose Directory and click Next
      5. Browse to public/photon/maven/rcptarget/photon-target/eclipse and click OK
      6. Click Finish
      7. Click Finish
      8. Select the Marketcetera platform as the active platform and click OK
   3. Import projects (File->Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace). Set the root directory to your top level code directory (marketcetera/workspaces/base/code/metc). Check Search for nested projects and select Finish. A popup may appear right away that says "build error". Just close this and ignore it. The code should build cleanly at this point.
