I've tried following the egit contributor guide, http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/Contributor_Guide which is excellent for the most part, but after importing projects most of my project tree is red due to errors... - The guide doesn't tell me how to set an API Baseline or where to get it from, or how to disable the error - It looks like following additional libs are needed from Orbit, these should be added to the list of libs from Orbit to install as well as the PSF, or would I get these by installing swtbot? - Hamcrest Library of Matchers (org.hamcrest) - Apache Log4J (org.apache.log4j) - Getting individual libs from the Orbit Repo is awkward, why isn't the PSF good enough? Or would it make sense to leverage the new "P2 Import" feature? - The guide is missing a hyperlink to see the project's Forum, Mailinglist or subscribe the mailinglist - The guide is missing a hyperlink for filing a new bug - Isn't Gerrit support for providing patches possible self-hosted as of 1.0?
Also, it took me ages to figure out where the "compute commit ID for Gerrit" option had gone... until I found that little button in the commit UI. This should be mentioned in the contributor guide!

If you work on EGit you should also run UI tests so you should install swtbot. Though it would be nice to add a target platform project to the maven build which could download all dependencies and create a self-contained target platform in a simple maven build. Had no time yet to look into that, but it's on my whishlist. > > - Getting individual libs from the Orbit Repo is awkward, why isn't the PSF > good enough?

I don't understand this question
I think this is done, if you need more updates please reopen
