[mylyn-reviews-dev] Trying out Mylyn Reviews, a little help please

[Brendan Billingsley <billinb@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would really like to test out Mylyn reviews. It looks like it is still 
early in development, but I think it is exactly what I am looking for 
and I am interested it give it a spin and possibly start using it if it 
is far enough along. Potentially I could contribute code, but more 
likely I can try it out and give feedback and/or bug reports while 
trying to use it.

I have never developed a plugin before and I can't find a quick start 
guide for cloning the git repository and building the plug-in for 
testing. I was able to clone the repository with egit but the project 
then seems to have errors. Actually egit imported the project as three 
projects (org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews, org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews.core and 
org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews.ui). I also tried cloning the project on the 
command line, but I don't see a way to build it from the command line. 
The cloned and imported project has multiple errors right now, which I 
imagine means I am doing something wrong and not that the repository is 
full of non-compiling code.

So long story short, if anyone could provide me with a quick set of 
steps or point me to a tutorial for cloning the project and getting it 
running I would really appreciate it. I did a bunch of web searching but 
everything I found was how to start a project from scratch, and I was 
hoping to find steps for getting the project form the repository and 
setting it up correctly in eclipse.

Thanks,
    Brendan
