Hi,

This is how I integrated the sync4j source code into Eclipse:
1. Pull the source code out of the cvs with the integrated cvs plugin of Eclipse
2. When it asks you for a new project, choose "new project from template" and then "Java project"
3. In the newly created project, define a new "source folder" pointing to src/java/ 
   (btw, you could define a new output folder too)
4. Define a new "external tool" which is the ant build.xml file
5. Add all the jars in the lib directory to the "build path"
6. Add the Ant jar (ant.jar), and the jar of the J2EE SDK (j2ee.jar)
7. Define a new JRE so it recognize the assert keyword (step by step
   configuration here http://jroller.com/page/jduska/20040715)
8. Edit the sync4j-build.properties file from your home directory with the right parameters 
   depending on your configuration
   
For example, mine is like that:
sunj2eesdk-rootdir=c:/Sun/AppServer
jdom.jar=c:/jar/jdom.jar
junit.jar=c:/jar/junit.jar
cactus.home=c:/jar/jakarta-cactus

dbms=mysql
jdbc.classpath=c:/jar/mysql-connector-java-3.0.14-production-bin.jar
jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/sync4j
jdbc.user=sync4j
jdbc.password=sync4j

server=jboss
server.jboss.deploy=c:/dev/jboss-3.0.8/server/default/deploy

From the different parameters, you can deduce the software to install  :) 

Then you can call "ant build" to build the entire project and "ant
deploy" to deploy in the J2EE Application Server

That's all in fact  ;-)
