#===============================================================================
#	Setup in Eclipse
#===============================================================================
- Get Eclipse (tested with v4.3, Java Developers edition)
- Import the DocFetcher folder into your Eclipse workspace
- In Eclipse Preferences > Java > Build Path > User Libraries: 
  create a User Library named 'SWT' which points to the right SWT jar for your
  platform. 
  The SWT jars can be found in "lib/swt". Optionally, the same
  "SWT" user library can also be used for overriding other 3rd party libs
  (for example, a local build of java-libpst-0.9.4-SNAPSHOT.jar).

In the Run configuration:
 - Main > Main class: net.sourceforge.docfetcher.gui.Application
 - Required Arguments > VM arguments
	Windows:
		-Djava.library.path="lib/jnotify;lib/jintellitype"
	Linux:
		-Djava.library.path="lib/jnotify:lib/jxgrabkey"
	Mac OS X:
		-Djava.library.path="lib/jnotify"
		-XstartOnFirstThread
 - Optional VM argument: -enableassertions
 - Classpath > add the folder "dist/lang" to the classpath (Advanced... > Add Folders).
