-----------------------------------------

Thanks Sian and Sveta. i think we're pretty much done with the text. 
There's some setback due to merge problems - the latest merged variant has some old bugs, such as tabs instead of spaces, and old text, such as Prerequisites section. In yesterday's patch i actually offered to rename it and rewrite to remove repetition of info about checkouts. For your convenience, i'm posting the text of the new variant of Prerequisites here. I renamed it a bit because it how has the info on how to get the code, which does not seem like a prerequisite, though is required :) 
Your feedback on the section is very important - don't hesitate to suggest corrections. If you like the text, please let me know and i'll commit to the base. 

"Before you Begin Developing Apache Harmony Code with Eclipse 

To develop Apache Harmony Java code with Eclipse JDT, you need: 

- Eclipse: version 3.2 or later, from eclipse.org 
- A Subversion plug-in: Either Subclipse from tigris.org or Subversive from polarion.org 

You will surely need the code to work with. For class library development, you'll need a compatible VM: obtain a VM as described here capable of running the class libary code, and install it in the same location as the snapshot. Analogously, you'll need class libraries for DRLVM development. Follow one of these ways depending on your needs: 
- Get pre-built snapshot from the download page. 
- Download source code to be built manually. For that, create an SVN repository location using the URL: 

///for classlibraries
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/harmony/enhanced/classlib
///for DRLVM
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/harmony/enhanced/drlvm
Check out the code from SVN selecting Checkout... from the context menu of trunk. "
