+= Install Eclipse+PyDev+BzrEclipse =
+
+Python + Bazaar+a Launchpad account and a basic editor is all you need to develop MadGraph. However, an Eclipse integrated solution has many advantages to boost productivity (internal versioning support, visual debugger, refactoring, unit testing, ...)
+
+Install Eclipse Classic from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
+
+Install PyDev from inside Eclipse (using the update site), follow instructions at http://pydev.org/manual_101_install.html
+
+Install BzrEclipse:
+
+Download http://code.launchpad.net/bzr-xmloutput/trunk/0.8.4/+download/bzr-xmloutput-0.8.4.tar.gz, unpack it in your local .bazaar/plugins directory
+Rename the directory to replace all the “-” and “.” in the name by “_” (don’t ask me why)
+Run “python setup.py build_ext -i” from this directory
+To install the plugin itself, follow instructions here: http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrEclipse/Installation
+Don’t forget to select all decorators in the Team/Bazaar/Decorators preference panel of Eclipse
+Learn Eclipse+PyDev+BzrEclipse
+
+No special advice here, you should just play with it to try to discover new features. If you have some time, there is a nice short tutorial by IBM covering almost all you need to know: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-ecant/?ca=drs-tp2604
+
+= Using Bazaar with Eclipse Mini Howto =
+
+Create a local repository MADGRAPH in a command line as explained previously
+Start Eclipse
+Create a new project, select the “Bazaar/Branch as a new project” wizard
+Select initialize a new branch location
+Enter “lp:madgraph5/trunk” (you need to have tried Bazaar + LP in the command line before for this to work)
+Select Tip (branch at last revision)
+Enter “MadGraph-trunk” as a project name and enter “...MADGRAPH/trunk” as location.
+You should see your mirror branch appearing as a new project
+Right click on it, and select “branch” in “Team”
+Select Tip (branch at last revision)
+Enter “MG-myfeature” as a project name and enter “...MADGRAPH/myfeature” as location
+You should see your task branch appearing as a new project
+From now on, you can use the same commands as in the command line, all of them being available in the right-click menu “Team”. For example, you can keep your mirror branch up-to-date by right clicking one “MadGraph-trunk” and the “Team/pull” (you might need to select the server lp:madgraph5/trunk in the list).
