Hi Avital,

>Now, when I look in Eclipse, I see two red x's

There is a Problems view
<http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Freference%2Fref-31a.htm>
in Eclipse, which can be used to investigate the causes of issues in this
case. Without knowing what error message is being displayed, it's hard to
suggest possible fixes.

After going back through these documents, I completely agree that there
were critical gaps in the instructions. We rewrote the source code
<http://imagej.net/Source_code> page, in particular, and updated related
sections of the wiki. I hope these changes will clarify for future readers
that the Git repositories contain Maven projects which can be easily
imported into Eclipse (e.g. that ImageJA <https://github.com/imagej/ImageJA>
is the Maven-ized ImageJ source).

Thank you for the feedback!

Best,
Mark
