Hi Tom,

Sorry. The instructions do assume familiarity with Eclipse. Here are some 
more steps that can hopefully clarify things. I've also updated the 
instructions posted on http://www.eclipse.org/wsvt.

1. Check out the plugins from within Eclipse. Switch perspectives to the 
CVS Repository perspective. Right click in the CVS Repositories view and 
select New->Repository Location. Enter your CVS information here. Once 
done you should see a repository location in the CVS Repositories view. 
Expand org.eclipse.wsvt and then expand plugins. Select the plugins you 
wish to extract and then right click and select Check Out.

2. Switch back to the Resource perspective or switch to the Plug-in 
Developer perspective. You should see all of the plugin projects in your 
workspace.

3. At this point you can right click on the plugin.xml file in any of the 
plugin projects and select PDE Tools -> Create Ant Build File.

4. The build.xml file should now be in your plugin project. You can now 
right click on the build.xml file and select Run As -> Ant Build.

I've suggested working within Eclipse as the plugins in the WSVT project 
require Eclipse libraries to build. (The WSDL validator does not require 
Eclipse libraries to run in Ant or command line mode.) Using Eclipse's 
tools simplify the creation of the build.xml file. For people not familiar 
with Ant Eclipse also simplifies running the build.
