Dear Gaters

 I had several issues using Eclipse IDE for developing Gate, mainly
because it is a java based IDE with gtk2 UI.
  The main issue is that it fails and closes repeatedly in Kubuntu.
Solution: install gtk2-engines and in system preferences -> Look &
Feel -> gtk change gtk theme to whatever but oxygen. Problem solved!
  Another issue is that Eclipse doesn't recognize Geant4 nor Root.
Solution: go to Eclipse -> Project -> Properties and in C/C++ General
-> Paths and Symbols -> includes -> GNU C++ add the following
directories: /usr/local/include/Geant4 and /usr/include/root (choose
your Geant4 and root installation folders if these are not your case).
Problem solved! Now you can travel with F3.

I hope this helps all those enthusiast who wants to contribute to gate.
Regards
Alex

PS: I am open to assist all those who wants to use Eclipse as main IDE
for developing Gate, first rule install cdt and egit plugins.
