The project uses Maven2

 1) 
   * install maven 2.0x commandline tools locally (http://maven.apache.org/download.html)
   * make sure Java JDK >= 1.5 is installed (JRE is not enough)
   * Set in Eclipse preferences (not project) M2_REPO java class variable, pointing to your local repository. 
      - In OSX for example    /Users/USERNAME/.m2/repository 
      - In WinXP for example  C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\.m2\repository
 
 2) checkout cdmlib and create eclipse artifacts:
 	$ svn co dev.e-taxonomy.eu/svn/trunk/cdmlib/
	$ cd cdmlib
	$ mvn eclipse:eclipse
 
 3) setup new eclipse workspace
 
 4) open/import relevant cdmlib eclipse projects into eclipse
