When configuring the Eclipse IDE (​http://www.eclipse.org/) for development in Java using the MapGuide Open source web API here are some useful configurations :

1) Set the environment variable : MENTOR_DICTIONARY_PATH to the (MG install dir)/share/gis/coordsys directory

2) Set the native library path to (MG install dir)/webserverextensions/lib/

3) Include the current jar : MapGuideApi*.jar in the java build path (jar can be located in $(MG install dir)/webserverextensions/www/WEB-INF/lib/

The above is the configuration for the 'Indigo' release of Eclipse but should be applicable to any current release.
