Getting the sources

• Make sure to target a recent SDK R3.4.x integration build.
• Define a CVS connection to server pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse
• Check out the HEAD branch of the project org.eclipse.jdt.core.
• The sources of this project have been compiled against a 1.4 JRE. A 1.4 JRE should thus be installed.
