E4 setup source code
Here are the required steps for setting up e4 source code in development environment :
1) Download latest I-build or Milestone build. 2) Install EMF-SDK 3) (Optional) Install e4 tooling and EGit. 4) Crate a project-set file(like e4.psf) from the below list (though the entire list of projects might not be required, but it is comprehensive)
