Hi,

I want to start experimenting with developing Eclipse itself, and I was wondering how to set up an environment to do Eclipse development, hopefully within Eclipse itself.
I was also hoping to debug (and step through) my own developed Eclipse code within Eclipse itself. Is this possible?

My computer is a mac os x 10.8.2 (not sure which lion that is exactly).

Does anybody have any pointers how to do this? Ideally, I want to start from a given release and then experiment from there. I searched a lot but could not find a tutorial how to do this.

Thanks and regards,

Steven

I would be interested to know about this as well..

P.S.: Your version of Mac OS X is Mountain Lion.

Three good places to start with getting familiar with using Eclipse RCP
APIs are:

http://www.eclipse.org/articles/
http://wiki.eclipse.org/The_Official_Eclipse_FAQs
http://www.vogella.com/eclipse.html (Plugin Dev, 3x. RCP dev, etc)

To actually get ahold of the eclipse source code, a good place to start
is http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute and its
associated links (this is for Platform UI).

You need to get an appropriate Eclipse SDK from
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/

You can see a script that installs a number of packages we use, as well
as a PSF that can help load our eclipse projects, at
http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/tree/releng
