• CAUTION: The digits 2 and 3 of the Janus platform version must be the same as the digits 1 and 2 of the Eclipse product, here "0.3".
• Launch the SARL Eclipse product.
• Create a SARL project.
• In the buildpath of the project: remove the "SARL libraries".
• In the buildpath of the project: add the external Jar of the Janus platform.
• Copy the source code from this repository in the project.

Launching
