I'm taking a look at this now.

I downloaded eclipse, and followed the instructions there.

I used TortiseSVN to download the trunk from:

https://logicmail.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/logicmail/trunk

When I create a project for eclipse, the IDE shows errors. A class named
LogicMailResource doesn't resolve.

I looked in the directory created by TortiseSVN and there are no files name
*resource*.*

I'm the first to admit, I don't use Eclipse for Java development so I'm kind
of wandering around in the dark. Still, there are no files with that name. I
notice there are also no .properties files. I would have expected to see
some for captions and such.

Am I missing something here?
