About JHBuild
JHBuild is a tool that compiles gnome modules such as GTK as well as all of it's dependencies.
Often you can't compile the latest versions of GTK because of missing dependencies (see dependency image below). JHBuild automatically pulls required dependencies and compiles them for you. Then you can run command line applications (such as eclipse or individual snippets or the autotester or even gnome calculator) within the context of JHBuild compiled modules.
