We strongly recommend you to use a common IDE, as in this way it will be easier to share solutions to common problems.
GenomeView IDE is Eclipse + EGit plugin. You'll find installation instructions at http://www.vogella.com/articles/EGit/article.html.
If you encounter any problem write us to genomeview-dev@googlegroups.com.
We show how to clone our local repos with JAnnot repository (we'll suppose you've already installed Git for Eclipse).
Fork the code repo following the steps described at [How to start contributing]. Once you've done that, the repo you'll have to import would be the one you forked.
File -> Import -> Project from GIT and choose URI repo, then type ssh://darolmar@git.code.sf.net/u/darolmar/genomeview. The rest of the inputs will be filled automatically. After press Finish the following screen will be displayed:
And that's all. From now on, all your changes will be committed to your branch.
