Can't Compile PDE - thousands of errors [message #603682]

I downloaded PDE.UI from CVS.
But there are thousands of compiler errors.
For example:
"Collector cannot be resolved to a type", even though the required class is in a jar that is on the BUILD PATH.
HELP!
Very cordially,
Mac

This Collector class is referenced in IUBundleContainer.java, but there is no IMPORT for the containing package = org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.query.
Should I just add an import?
and then goto work on the remaining 2,445 errors and warning?

OK - many thanks!
I'm starting to get a little bit of a feel for the environment.
I'll start going through the code in some detail now.
Very cordially,
Mac
