This page is info for developers interested in contributing to the actual Equinox source code.

Part of Equinox is launching Eclipse. It's like bootstrap code that get's the main jvm going.

Opening code in Eclipse

The repository contains a .cproject:

 rt.equinox.framework$ find . | grep cproj
 ./bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher/.cproject
 ./features/org.eclipse.equinox.executable.feature/.cproject  << Launcher in 'C'

You can import this project straight into Eclipse. (Import from Git, find projects, select the executable launcher).

There are many projects in Equinox. Most are java based except the executable launcher.
