...by building from source

Check out the master branch.

Navigate to the folder releng/eu.netide.dependencies and type mvn p2:site. This will build an Eclipse repository for external dependencies at releng/eu.netide/dependencies/target/repository.

Navigate to the folder releng/eu.netide.parent and type MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1024M" mvn package. The build process can take some time.

Once it has finished, you'll find the contents of an eclipse update site as a zip file in releng/eu.netide.product/target.

Open your Eclipse installation.

Go to Help->Install New Software->Add->Local and specify the location of the dependency repository. Go to Help->Install New Software->Add->Archive and specify the location of the zip file.

Select NetIDE from the list and follow the instructions. After restarting Eclipse, NetIDE is ready to run.
