I ran into this too, so one for the "newbie to VE" FAQ for sure

Coincidentally, getting started on the VE sources involves a pretty
steep learning curve (even steeper if your Eclipse knowledge is not
already at expert level). Is there, or do you recommend, a high level
architecture document, that could explain the architectural concepts of
the VE plug-in - from a high level of course.
