Description Alexander Nyßen

To enable that adopters (who do not want to contribute to GEF, but only want to use it for their own development) know how to set-up their workspace, we should - in addition to the GEF contributor guide - add a respective GEF adopters guide.

If we furthermore split our documentation into developer and user documentation (see bug #465227) and clearly separate the end-user tools provided by Cloudio.UI and DOT.UI from the framework parts (as outlined in bug #476940) we will best address our three communities (compare https://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/#2_3_Three_Communities):

- Users (end-user tools, user cocumentation)
- Adopters (framework parts, developer documentation, adopter guide)
- Contributors and Committers (framework parts, developer documentation, contributor guide)

I created an initial adopter guide at https://wiki.eclipse.org/GEF/Adopter_Guide and extracted the necessary information from the GEF contributor guide. I also thinned out the contributor guide to only provide the information needed to contribute.
