First thing is get the right development environment downloaded and set up - there is a very specific version of eclipse needed with particular versions of plugins - more info at http://www.eclipse.org/epf/composer_dev_guide/dev_env.php
Once you have this in place connect via CVS to the repository and nab all the code per http://www.eclipse.org/epf/composer_dev_guide/cvs_setup.php - on e thing to note to get things to work properly I had check out each folder as a separate project. You now have everything in place to build/debug except an appropriate product for the MacOS. I went down the path of creating my own product definition modeled after the linux version. Unfortunately I have misplace the notebook I kept of the steps I undertook - perhaps I will start this back up later next month. If you make any progress and/or you want to collaborate on some of this email me at david *-at-* allens-online *-dot-* c0m... David Allen CTO Sparta Consulting Inc.

I'm not really into Eclipse plug-in programming/building ... :-( A proper starting point would probably be "what should I download!?"
