+This is a "reprint" of a post to jsword-devel on 12/31/2006. As such it needs to be updated for 3.3.
+====================================================================================================
+Here are steps you can follow to set up your environment to run the incubator projects. I'm assuming you're developing in a Win32 environment. If not, you'll need to download the appropriate RCP SDK for your OS in step 2.
+
+1) Designate a folder on your hard drive as your RCP "Target Platform" folder, for example, "D:\RCP\Target_3.1.2". This folder will contain the plugins & bundles that you want your RCP project to reference, and that will be bundled with the RCP application when it's built.
+
+2) Download the RCP SDK for Eclipse 3.1.2 (http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.1.2-200601181600/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-RCP-3.1.2-win32.zip) and extract its contents into your folder. This should create an "eclipse" folder with a few subfolders and files in it.
+
+3) Add the bundles from incubator/Vendor into your RCP folder's "eclipse\plugins" subfolder.
+
+4) Create a new Eclipse workspace for your RCP project.
+
+5) Configure your workspace to look for plugins and bundles in your RCP folder.
+    a) Go to Window->Preferences->Plug-in Development->Target Platform.
+    b) Browse to or type in the path to your RCP folder's "eclipse" subfolder in the Location field.
+    c) Click the Reload button and verify that plugins load up.
+    d) Click OK.
+
+6) Import the incubator projects into your workspace
+
+7) Run the test RCP project
+    a) Go to Run -> Run... .
+    b) Select "Eclipse Application", click New.
+    c) Verify that the "Run an application" field contains "org.crosswire.jsword.test.rcp.application".
+    d) Click Run.
+
+
+That's it! You can find more detailed information about setting up an RCP environment here:
