1. Check out IGB from https://genoviz.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/genoviz/trunk into a new directory - we will refer to the project directory below as IGB_HOME.
   • open a command prompt in IGB_HOME, run "svn co https://genoviz.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/genoviz/trunk"
   • in eclipse, project explorer, "File>Import"
   • in the Import popup, under "General", select "Existing Projects into Workspace"
   • "Next >" button
   • make sure "Select root directory:" is selected, and fill in the IGB_HOME directory
   • click the "Finish" button Ann's comment: I followed the directions exactly, even checking an all-new copy of genoviz-trunk into a newly created directory (I called it IGB_HOME) but Eclipse refused to let me proceed, showing an error message on the "Import" window that syas "Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace." I got it to work only after I deleted another copy of the IGB project. Is it not possible to have to separate IGB projects on the same computer without Eclipse causing a problem? I need to be able to develop on branch and the trunk checked out into different locations. How do I do this?
2. Open a command prompt in IGB_HOME, and do an "ant clean" and "ant jar"
3. Make sure Eclipse is displaying the Project Explorer Tab. (If not, click View>Show View>Project Explorer.)
4. In eclipse, Project Explorer, right click the IGB project and select "refresh."
5. in eclipse, Project Explorer, right click on open space, and select "Import..." Ann's comment: When I did this, I did not see a folder labeled "Plug-in Development." Is this something unique to how your Eclipse is set up? If yes, please explain what other stuff I need to install to follow the directions.  #* I did a Web search for "Helios" - is that what I need to develop a plug-in? I tried using the "Install New Software" option under the "Help" menu in Eclipse, but there were so many options I had no idea what to choose.  Please give more details. 
   1. Select "Plug-ins and Fragments" under "Plug-in Development", click the "Next >" button
   2. under "Import From", select "Directory:",
   3. under "Plug-ins and Fragments to Import" select "Select from all plug-ins and Fragments",
   4. under "Import As" select "Binary Projects"
   5. for "Directory:", click the "Browse..." button and select the IGB_HOME/ext, click the "OK" button
   6. click the "Next >" button
   7. under "Plug-ins and Fragments Found:", select affx_fusion, colt, freehep, image4j, jlfgr, picard, and sam
   8. click the "Add -->" button to add these all to "Plug-ins and Fragments to Import:", click the "Finish" button
6. Do the following for the directories under IGB_HOME, genometryImpl, genoviz_sdk, igb, plugins/igb_service, plugins/window_service
   • in eclipse, project explorer, right click on open space, and select "Import..."
   • Select "Existing Projects into Workspace" under "General", click the "Next >" button
   • click "Select root directory:" and click the "Browse..." button on the right
   • select the project under IGB_HOME, and click "OK"
   • click "Finish"
