This document provides steps to install a Nuxeo development environment using Eclipse. It includes downloading and configuring a JVM, Maven, Ant, JBoss AS, Eclipse, and plugins. The Nuxeo source code is then compiled and deployed to a JBoss server using Ant tasks in Eclipse. Finally, the running Nuxeo application can be accessed at http://localhost:8080/nuxeo/.
