title: Getting Started with Sharpen in Eclipse
body: <p>I'm a .Net developer and recently I've become part of a project that is doing a port of some java software. I'm trying to get <a href="http://developer.db4o.com/Documentation/Reference/db4o-7.12/java/reference/html/reference/sharpen.html" rel="nofollow">Sharpen</a> up and running to convert.</p>
  
  <p>I have downloaded and installed Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (Version: Helios Service Release 1 Build id: 20100917-0705). </p>
  
  <p>I've been trying to follow this <a href="http://developer.db4o.com/Blogs/Product/tabid/167/entryid/95/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">Guide</a>. Following instructions on how to set up sharpen, I've tried then to grab a copy of the sharpen repo at <a href="https://source.db4o.com/db4o/trunk/sharpen/" rel="nofollow">https://source.db4o.com/db4o/trunk/sharpen/</a> from within eclipse. Host: source.db4o.com, Repository Path: source.db4o.com/db4o/trunk/sharpen. Using various connection types I get connection refused when using anony username (or using ext I get Cannot run program "ssh":CreateProcess error=2, the system cannot find the file specified"). </p>
  
  <p>Alternatively, I am able to use subversion/toritiseSVN to download the repo at the above mentioned url. I then import this into my workspace, but I get various errors such as org.eclipse cannot be resolved. I know what this means, but I am unsure how to go about solving that problem.</p>
  
  <p>Finally, the last step is to Export this as "Plug-in Development" -> "Deployable plugins and fragments". However, I don't see this as an export option.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated,</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
