[Engine-devel] Building ovirt engine instructions

[Allon Mureinik]

Just had to reinstall and reconfigure Eclipse myself due to a yum upgrade misshap (kids, don't try this at home :-)), so here's some insight on the process.

ack.

Eclipse Juno did this automatically for me, but yes, if it wasn't added automatically, you should add it.

Same as above.

Indeed - this step seems wrong. I will remove it from the wiki page.

It was indeed removed - skip to the next stage regarding uicompat.

Also, there are steps missing (I'll add them to the wiki):
gwt-extensios - add anything under target/generated-sources
gwt-common - add target/generated-sources/annotations; also add depdendency on uicommon-web, common and compat
uicompat - add target/generated-sources/annotations
generic-api - add dependencies on common, compat and utils
