This is a small guide to setup a TypeScript IDE development environment.

This is not a guide to build TypeScript IDE, to build it you need to setup Tycho/Maven, however in this guide we only cover the importation of the projects and run them.

1. Open Eclipse Oxygen in a new workspace.
2. Import as Maven all projects from TM4E repository: https://github.com/eclipse/tm4e
3. Import as Maven all projects from Codelens repository: https://github.com/angelozerr/codelens-eclipse
4. Import as a regular project the codelens-eclipse/tree/master/javassist project.
5. Close the org.eclipse.codelens.jdt project (it is not needed for TypeScript IDE).
6. Import as Maven all projects from TypeScript IDE repository: https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java
7. Import the typescript.java/tree/master/thirdparties/minimal-json project.
8. Create a new Target Platform and add the Web Tools plugins.
9. Ignore all Maven related errors.
10. Create a Run Configuration with an Eclipse Application and all the plugins in the workspace.
