Getting a Platform UI checkout via the installer [message #1773033]

In a feature wish I opened I was pointed to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute in what I assume is an invitation to provide a patch for the wish I have.

I tried following the steps mentioned there, except that I did not use the ssh-checkout from Gerrit but rather https url (since I didn't setup the Gerrit account yet). The steps in the installer succeed and the downloaded Eclipse installation starts up and starts running some initialization tasks.

However one of those fails (see below for the output) and I end up with a dialog asking me to go back to select some other options. If I do click on Back and then on Finish again the dialog completes successfully, but I end up in an otherwise empty Eclipse workspace. I tried a manual load of projects from the git checkout that was created on disk but that results just in compile errors because dependencies are missing. Turns out the target platform is not complete either.

So whats the proper process to get a checkout of say the platform ui codebase to try to look into a smaller patch contribution?

This is the output generated by the initialization tasks in the started Eclipse instance:
