 4. Fix Eclipse's build path to include compile-time generated sources.
-* Right click the project where a red X mark is shown(e.g. `asterix-algebra`. Then resolve by applying the following:
-  * Right click asterix-algebra. Click Build Path and Configure Build Path. Click Add Folder.
-  * Under the `target -> generated sources`, check the parent folder of the `org` folder and click OK.
-  * For example, if the directory structure is "target - generated-sources - javacc - org - apache ...", check the javacc directory and click OK. Then X mark will dissapear.
-* Repeat this step to all projects which show a red X mark except "asterix-fuzzyjoin" and "asterix-transactions".
-* It may be the case that only "asterix-algebra" and "asterix-external-data" will require these steps.

That is due to the unfortunate way Gerrit works; it requires squashing to a single git commit for review, which loses the association with the original commits in your history.
 
 It is also possible that you may want to re-use a branch and git-gerrit fails to notice that the older change has been merged - or perhaps the change was Abandoned on Gerrit and not merged, and you want to continue working on the same branch to create a new proposal. In this case, run

 ### Verification
 
-As of right now, whenever a patch set is submitted to Gerrit (i.e. whenever a user performs 'git gerrit submit') are automatically picked up by Jenkins, which runs `mvn verify` to test the patch fully. Once the build finishes, Jenkins comments on the patchset and votes with the result (+1 for all tests passing, -1 for anything less). Ideally, and in most cases, verifocation of a patchset reqires no intervention. However there are a few exceptions to this as detailed below.

 ### Retrigggering builds and triggering builds manually
 
 #### Retriggering
-Occasionally, there are builds in which tests failed, but perhaps not for a reason that has anything to do with the proposed patch's changes. For example, on occasion the Integration tests can have issues with ports on the build server already being bound. The simple work around to this is to try building again.

+The simple work around to this is to try building again.
 
-One way to perform this is by simply visiting the link that is posted on Gerrit by Jenkins, and hitting the 'Retrigger' link on the left-hand side of the page. This will try retesting the build with the exact same parameters as last time, hopefully with a different result.

+This will try retesting the build with the exact same parameters as last time, hopefully with a different result.
 
 #### Manual Trigger
-Builds of Gerrit patches can also be fully manually triggered from Jenkins. This can be desirable if a change is now dependent on a Hyracks change (via the Topic field feature described below), or if the patch is a draft or is not triggered automatically for any other reason. To manually trigger a build of a patchset, visit the Jenkins front-page, and click the 'Query and Trigger Gerrit patches' link. This should link to a page allowing you to manually trigger Gerrit patches. In the search field any query that can be searched in the Gerrit web interface can be used, but the default query of all open patchsets is likely fine. Hit the 'Search' button, and then click the checkbox that represents the patch that needs to be built. Then simply click 'Trigger Selected' and the patch will start building.
