[jbosstools-dev] First Steps for JBT Contributors

[Peter Palaga]

Hi *,

With a little help from my Friends Fred and Mickael, I have just set up 
the development environment. Mickael asked me to post this here, to make 
it more visible.

The good news is that there already is a Development Environment chapter 
in devdoc [1] which covers the topic fairly well. Nothing comes to my 
mind that would be missing there.

The bad news is that I have not found it when I was needing it. Googling 
for "jboss tools environment" [2] does not return it on the first page.
Besides that, there is a couple of "Contribute" links in the footer of 
http://tools.jboss.org/ but this important document is not linked there. 
A "Contributor's first steps" link refering to [1] could perhaps be 
added there.
The "Write Code" link pointing to 
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-devdoc/ sounds a little bit 
misleading to me. "Get the Code" or perhaps "Checkout the Code" would 
describe better where it leads.
