Welcome to the second tutorial! We will work our way through installing a proper Eclipse setup and developing a first very basic layout algorithm. The layout algorithm will integrate with KIML (KIELER Infrastructure for Meta-Layout), our very own framework that connects graphical editors with layout algorithms. Once you're finished, you should be able to create new Eclipse plug-ins and know how to write layout algorithms for KIML. And you should have a running Eclipse-based application that should look something like this:

Preliminaries
...
As far as KIML and layout algorithms are concerned, you can always refer to our Wiki which has a section about KIML and the KIELER layout projects. The documentation is not complete, however, so feel free to ask Miro or Christoph Daniel for help if you have questions that the documentation fails to answer.
...
Once you're done implementing the edge routing code, test it by running your debug configuration again, as before.
Before You Run Away...
...don't forget to commit your layout algorithm to your repository, and to push your commits to the tutorial repository on our server. If it's not there, we won't be able to see your work!
