## Enhancing Nodeclipse

Some minimal Java & Eclipse plugin development skills are needed for improving code base.
First give a try (using [Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers](https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/)):

- `git clone https://github.com/Nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1.git` or EGit equivalent
- import as existing project "nodeclipse-1" (only root)
- in Project Explorer right-click a plugin project folder, e.g. "org.nodeclipse.enide.editors.jade",
select "Select Import as Project"
- right-click chosen plugin project as select Run As -> Eclipse Application

Now you have Eclipse running with the latest version of chosen plugin!
Make your changes to the code and see it running (for some cases without launch Eclipse restart).
For example try changes Jade keywords in
[`src/org/nodeclipse/enide/editors/jade/highlight/Words.java`](https://github.com/Nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1/blob/master/org.nodeclipse.enide.editors.jade/src/org/nodeclipse/enide/editors/jade/highlight/Words.java)

To go on some minimal Java & Eclipse plugin development skills are needed for improving code base.
Check "Plug-in development 101" <http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-eclipse-plugindev1/> as great tutorial by Chris Aniszczyk (2008).
That will be great starting point, that lets you get understanding.
For future references there is also often updated "Eclipse 4 RCP - Tutorial"
