edit 'eclipse.ini' file in your eclipse folder
- --launcher.XXMaxPermSize256M
- --Xmx1024m
run eclipse
change encoding to 'UTF-8': top menu > Preferences > General > Workspace
if you want to test a clean eclipse rcp, you can add target platform in Preferences (optional)
click 'Import' menu on the Package Explorer View.
select 'Existing Projects into Workspace" item
select your project folder that you downloaded: (* in my case: D:/DEV/project)
check projects that you will use (except dexter-server project)
click 'Finish' button

open dexter-executor project
select 'build-install.xml file, then 'Run As' and 'Ant Build'
if build is fine, you will see the "Build SUCCESSFUL" message on the Console view

you can run 'dexter.exe' file the export folder. (* in my case, C:/DEV/export/0.9.0/dexter-daemon)
login dialog will be shown. if not, you can click 'blue water drop' icon for that
