+	
+		Eclipse mercurial plugin:
+			click Help -> Install new Software.
+			The Eclipse Update Site for MercurialEclipse is available at this URL:
+			http://cbes.javaforge.com/update
+					
+		Import the rawtherapee mercurial repository:
+			File->new->'other'->mercurial->Clone existing repository
+			fill in URL: https://rawtherapee.googlecode.com/hg
+			
+		Enter root directory of RawTherapee source tree from a terminal window.
+		configure the source for Eclipse with:
+			cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./release -DBINDIR=. -DDATADIR=. -DLIBDIR=. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+				
+		Eclipse does not do 'make install' but only 'make all' so to get the release there are 2 ways.
+			1. type 'make install' in the console or,
+			2. in 'Project'->'properties'->'C/C++ Make Project'->'Build (incremental build)' change 'all' to 'install'
