1. Create a new project and choose to import sql12 folder of the 
unpacked sources.

2. Menu Windows --> Show View --> Ant will open the ant view

3. In the ant view from the right mouse menu choose 'Add build files' 
and select build/build.xml

4. Double click the make_dist task. This will build SQuirreL to a folder 
  squirrel-sql-dist right besides the sql12 folder.

5. Double click the compile_plugin task. This will will create the 
plugins selected in sql12/build/build.properties. All standard plugins 
should be built.

6. in the Eclips Run configuration set the following command line arguments:

-home <your_path>/squirrel-sql-dist/squirrel-sql/core/dist

This is the  path where you find the SQuirrel built you just created. 
What you actually need this built for is to enable SQuirreL to load the 
plugins when you are starting it from eclipse. Nothing more.

7. Usually Eclipse will compile the sources to sql12/bin which is 
perfectly OK. When you start SQuirreL from within Eclipse the classes in 
sql12/bin will be loaded first. This way any changes you do to plugin 
code will take effect. The plugin jars you built above  are just helpers.
