After a successful build, you can find the generated VJET update site at:

<source lang="dos">
# on build server with profile build-server you will see repo here
{git_clone_root}/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.vjet.all.repo/target/signed/site_assembly.zip

# on local build you will see unsigned jars here
{git_clone_root}/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.vjet.all.repo/target/org.eclipse.vjet.all.repo-${project.version}.zip
</source>

3. Install egit plugins, find update site from [[http://www.eclipse.org/egit/ http://www.eclipse.org/egit/]] 

4. Start a new Eclipse workspace, setup target environment to include VJET build dependent plugins:

5. Import Projects 

a) You can import all VJET projects by just selecting the root directory of the git repo Import <nowiki>-</nowiki>&gt; Team <nowiki>-</nowiki>&gt; Team Project Set, browse to your GIT Clone VJET root, select VjetProjectSet.psf and Finish. 

b) Or, you can import a subset of VJET projects from Git Cloned VJET subdirectories: Import <nowiki>-</nowiki>&gt; General <nowiki>-</nowiki>&gt; Existing Projects into Workspace, browse to your Git cloned VJET subdirectory, such as extmod, core, eclipse, or their subdirectories.
