Update documentation for Eclipse setup

See original GitHub issue

The docs on how to build dotty in Eclipse are outdated, they are not enough to build dotty successfully in Eclipse because some dependencies are not found. For example there are compilation errors in dotty/src/dotty/tools/backend/jvm/DottyBackendInterface.scala because types such as ApplyDynamicDeconstructor are not found. Where can one find the sources or binaries for ApplyDynamicDeconstructor?

Since ScalaIDE defaults to the latest Scala, would it be an option to switch to that too?

We’d love that, the issue is that the dotty backend is a fork of the scalac 2.11.5 backend (actually it was forked somewhere during the development of scala 2.11.5) and needs to be brought up to date

Just tried the new instructions: adding scala-reflect 2.11.5 wasn’t quite enough, seemingly because 2.11.8 was still on the classpath. To fix that, I removed the Scala library container and add a standard library as an external JAR from project dotty.
