+### How to compile and run from IDE
+
+Get an Eclipse SDK from https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ (currently, I use build 4.22 (12-2021), earlier builds should work as well.)
+
+Get sqlite-jdbc-3.34.0.jar and put it into xyz.veronie.bgg.ui/lib/ (create the lib directory first). I think I cannot put it into the repo due to the licensing. Working on a better solution... 
+
+Open xyz.veroni.bgg.product/bggtool.product, Synchronize and Launch the program. (If plugins are missing, go to the Run Configurations..., select tab "Plugin-ins", and click "Add Required Plug-ins", click "Apply" and run.
+
+There is no deployed program yet that I can disctribute, but I'm working on it.
