Hi Christian,
There is an intro article, but it does not cover project setup. That is an area where documentation is in need of improvement.
My getting started recommendation is as follows:
1. Install the latest version of Sapphire into your Eclipse. If you manage your dev eclipse separately from your target platform, Sapphire needs to be present in both. If you don't know what that is talking about, don't worry. By default, the Eclipse you are running is your target platform.
2. Import Sapphire samples project into your workspace. You will find a zip of the samples listed next to the framework repository for each release of Sapphire. Verify that the imported samples are building cleanly. This will confirm correctness of step #1.
3. Review the intro article and dive into the samples. A runnable version of the code used in the intro article is one of samples. Start there and branch out to other samples.
4. Practice by making a few changes to the samples. Add a constraint to an existing property. Add a new property to model and UI.
5. Once you feel confident to start your own project, compare the configuration of your project to the sample's project. You will initially need to add dependencies on Sapphire bundles in manifest.mf and enable annotation processing under project properties -> Java Compiler -> Annotation Processing. Once you get close to needing to build your plugin for distribution, you will also need customBuildCallback.xml like the one in the samples project. It is wired in in project's build.properties file.

As you progress, if something is unclear, ask questions on this forum.

Hi all,
I've just installed a fresh version of eclipse (Neon) and I cannot find any tutorial about how to setup my environment to develop a new xml editor based on my business model, build and finally release it.
I read the introduction guide that is well written but it doesn't explain how to get really started.
If a tutorial has been already written, please point me to that page or forum discussion.
If not, please see my inline comments:

How do that? I searched Sapphire on Ecplise market place and installed it. Is it sufficient?

Can you provide a link to the samples? Probably I'm not understanding what you mean with framework repository.
How I can import them? I suppose you are talking about the import functionality in eclipse: what import wizard do I have to use?

3. Review the intro article and dive into the samples. A runnable version of the code used in the intro article is one of samples. Start there and branch out to other samples.
So, I can have a project that I can build with just a sample. Is it right?

That's fine!

This will be clear once the previous steps are done.
The entire framework seems to be very powerful and a step by step guide should be perfect! 
Thanks,
Marco
