17
18<p>It is recommended to check out the plugins via the releng tools using
19map files provided by the project.<br>
20The main advantage of this approach is to have a reproducable build, and
21that way you can easily check out exactly the code that is contained in
22builds produced by the web tools project (I-Builds, M-Builds, Releases).<br>
23This approach makes general handling easier and is as well more helpful
24for the project when submitting bugreports or supplying pachtes.
25Checking out HEAD is not recommended as it is not reproducable.<br>

32 is availble at the bottom of the download page for the specific version of
33 Eclipse you have installed.</p>

38 whole collection of map files is available on each WTP download page from
39 the link entitled "map files".</li>

41<ul>
42 <li>Create a new project in Eclipse. Create a new file with an .map
43 extension. Paste all maps from the link above into the file.</li>
44</ul>
45<ul>
46 <li>Right-click on the file. Select: Team - Load Map Projects. (If you
47 copyed all map files into the file, it will take a little longer).</li>
48</ul>
49<ul>
50 <li>When you're finished, you've checked out all WTP plugins out of
51 the Eclipse CVS.<br>
52 The plugins are all located in the same project/directory.</li>
