Workspace set up guide for eclipse is not easy to follow

[CaptainDaVinci]

The steps described in the wiki for setting up a workspace on eclipse is not easy to follow. For e.g,

• It does not mention the test libraries that should be moved to the class path.
• The jhm class is not present in the modulepath list.
• The step about module dependencies cannot be followed correctly.

On my main machine a ./gradlew run and then a ./gradlew eclipse plus copying over the logging plugin seems to work. Need to check my laptop.

Thanks for the update, do I have to copy build/generated/sources/annotationProcessor/java/main/org/jabref/gui/logging/plugins/Log4jPlugins.java to src/main/java/org/jabref/gui/logging after creating a directory plugins in it?

Yes. That's a thing I have not yet automated. The underlying problem is that Eclipse and gradle do not yet work with those annotation processing stuff really good (different folders etc)
Maybe we can simply commit the file without needing to generate it always. Need to check this out.

I updated the instructions for eclipse now and clarified some details
