GEF comes with examples (including source code). I have no problem running

However, I'd like to be able to recompile them. This appears to be not
straightforward, as source code for the examples does not include any
project configuration files (it is just Java). I believe, that one has to
know quite a bit about eclipse (and abouth the specific plugin) to
recreate configuration files specifying extension points etc. This
situation is not specific to GEF, it appears to be common for all plugins
available from http://www.eclipse.org
So far, I was unable to find any instructions on how to recompile the
examples. The closest I could get, are the following instructions on how
to recompile the whole of the Eclipse:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.1-20 0506271435/srcIncludedBuildInstructions.html
Is their an easy way to recompile Eclipse examples? I did try to use File -
Import in various combinations, but it goes nowhere. To import, I need to
have a project in place. And to create a project, I need to specify all sort
of configuration options ...

File a bug for this I think just to be safe. You should be able to just
import the project and have it compile, if I recall, I've had cases
where this wasn't true for some of the samples.

I doubt that it is a bug, as with UML2 it is exactly the same situation. It
is a bug in a sense that nobody cares to document some important aspects
(what use are examples if in order to make them work one needs to have an
in-depth understanding of the platform?).
I actually figured out how to "import a project" following
http://eclipsewiki.editme.com/HackingEclipseItself, but it is not much help
as the resulting "project" would not compile or run (I can see Java files as
part of the project, but if I introduce syntactic errors, Build All does not
find them).

You need to import a plug-in, not a project.
