+IDE
+===
+
+While PyCharm as an excellent IDE, some aspects of it require licensing, and
+the PyDev Plugin for Eclipse (packaged as LiClipse) is fully open source
+(although donations are welcome). Therefore this section focuses on using
+LiClipse for StorPerf development.
+
+
+Download
+============
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    http://www.liclipse.com/download.html
+
+
+Storperf virtualenv Interpretor
+=================================
+
+Setting up interpreter under PyDev (LiClipse):
+
+* Go to Project -> Properties, PyDev Interpreter:
+
+.. image:: ../images/PyDev_Interpreter.jpeg
+
+* Click to configure an interpreter not listed.
+
+.. image:: ../images/PyDev_Interpreters_List.jpeg
+
+* Click New, and create a new interpreter called StorPerf that points to your
+  Virtual Env.
+
+.. image:: ../images/PyDev_New_Interpreter.jpeg
+
+* You should get a pop up similar to:
+
+.. image:: ../images/PyDev_Interpreter_Folders.jpeg
+
+* And then you can change the Interpreter to StorPerf.

+
+
+Code Formatting
+===============
+
+Pep8 and Flake8 rule. These are part of the Gerrit checks and I'm going to
+start enforcing style guidelines soon.
+
+* Go to Window -> Preferences, under PyDev, Editor, Code Style, Code Formatter
+  and select autopep8.py for code formatting.
+
+.. image:: ../images/Code_formatter.jpeg
+
+* Next, under Save Actions, enable "Auto-format editor contents before saving",
+  and "Sort imports on save".
+
+.. image:: ../images/Save_Actions.jpeg
+
+* And under Imports, select Delete unused imports.
+
+.. image:: ../images/Unused_imports.jpeg
+
+* Go to PyDev -> Editor -> Code Analysis and under the pycodestye.py (pep8),
+  select Pep8 as Error.  This flag highlight badly formatted lines as errors.
+  These must be fixed before Jenkins will +1 any review.

+
+
+Import Storperf as Git Project
+==============================
+
+I prefer to do the git clone from the command line, and then import that as a
+local project in LiClipse.
+
+* From the menu: File -> Import Project
+
+.. image:: ../images/Import_Project.png
+
+|
+
+.. image:: ../images/Local_Repo.png
+
+|
+
+.. image:: ../images/Add_git.png
+
+|
+
+* Browse to the directory where you cloned StorPerf
+
+.. image:: ../images/Browse.png
+
+|
+
+* You should now have storperf as a valid local git repo:
+
+.. image:: ../images/Git_Selection.png
+
+|
+
+* Choose Import as general project
