I already have some sort of a prototype of Durandal app, but now I need to add functionality to it which requires backend. I am told to go with Java, but then how do I import the Durandal app into Eclipse? Eclipse and durandal have their own project structures and they're everything but the same... Is trying to move the whole thing into Eclipse even a good idea? If no, what are the alternatives?
First of all, you don't need to have a single project for both the Java back-end and the Durandal front-end. You could have 2 different projects (and use Eclipse of the back-end, with whatever editor/ide you are already using for the front-end.
You can use Eclipse for both (I personally do). There's two approaches I've used:
(a) Have two separate projects.
In this case one project would be a Java project and the other the Durandal project. The Durandal project could be a "Static Web" project (if you have web tools plugins installed) where you copy all Durandal files into the "WebContent" folder, or it could be a simple project. Since you won't be building from within Eclipse, it doesn't really matter.
(b) Have a common project.
In this case you would create a Java project, then inside it use New->Folder to create a folder for your Durandal content (e.g. webclient) and copy all your Durandal stuff in there.
As long as you have the Web Developer Tools plugins installed, you will be able to used the HTML/Javascript editors of Eclipse, regardless of which approach is used.

How many different way there is download open source projects in order to modify and rebuild them (directly in editors like eclipse and maven).
The short answer is "a lot".
Seriously it depends on the project. If for example project is developed by individual and not published at any public repository and exists on his hard drive only you do not even have a chance to know that the project exists.
If however the project is published in public repository it depends on the repository. The most popular way to develop open source projects these days is GitHub. If project is there you can always clone the repository and do what you want. Building the project depends on its author. If he/she uses "standard" build tools (maven, gradle etc) it is not a problem. Otherwise it depends...
If you do not want to modify the project but just want to include it as a dependency of your project it depends on the programming language. Java libraries are typically available in maven repository but it is up to the library author.
Please do not hesitate to ask more concrete questions.
I am a little confused on your question but it sounds like what ways there are to download projects.
Usually finding an SVN or GIT plugin would do the trick if you want to download it directly to the editor.

lazy dont have to read this
I have to work on an old netbeans project which is kinda messy. The previous autor changed a lot in some .properties and .xml files and add ant scripts. (Aplication is designed for Websphere, and it have some requirements)
Unfortunatly today doesn't work. Some important values was stored in private.properties (I dont know what exacly was), ant script don't run, and few versions issue apper. So first I have to tidy this mess, but I dont know about netbeans project well. Unfortunatly I have problem to find documentation to all of it.
Netbeans project is based on ant project. Fortunatley ant have manual here: http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html . But (I assume that) 'nbproject' folder and its inner files are not part of ant project. I can't find documentation about it. Maybe I blind or something, but I didn't found it on NetBeans side. IMHO netbeans side is kinda messy as well.
straight to the point
I am searching for documentation for netbeans project, where will be written about files project.xml, project.properties etc. What they contain and even how to write them on your own.
This document explains freeform project configuration in detail. You should be able to find what you need in there. If I were in your position, I would create a new project that has all the frameworks like your original project and then look at the project metadata files of the new project for some direction. IMO this is far easier than trying to author the project.xml files from scratch.

I'm going to bundle several LGPL libraries into commercial Eclipse-based application as plug-ins (I generate plug-in from an existing Jar for each library). My application is not LGPL, and it's closed source app. After reading point (6) of the LGPL license I've understood that I have either to include source plug-ins for every LGPL library or provide a link to the source code of these libraries (BTW, where these links must be provided, in About dialog?). Am I correct? Is there an example for such an application?
Thanks!
I don't know of an example, but yes you are correct. I don't think the LGPL specifies the exact means that the software should be published in. EPL has a similar requirement for publishing the source code if you have modified their stuff, and I have heard that a standard thing for IBM to do for example is have a zip file of the sources available somewhere on their site or with the product distribution.
So long as it's clear where to find the source, I don't think it matters much exactly how you publish it. And if you have not modified the LGPL source, then you can refer to some place where it is published. You only need to actually publish it if you have modified it in some way (or its not published elsewhere).

I am searching for an Eclipse plugin which supports drag and drop functionality to build a GUI
and
supports immediate and automatic embedding within a MVC (model view controller) structure. Any ideas?
WindowBuilder is free, simple and not cumbersome. It also supports binding and synchronization of model pojo objects taking some of the MVC pains away.
I find it quite pleasant to work with as it does not places itself at toe forefront like most other similar editors will. It does not embed strange files that serve no other purposes than to serve the editor, rather it uses directly the java source file as it's backing persistence and it does so in a very clean way compared to say visual Studio with an MFC project.
It does have some quirks though, especially with Maven as some of the dependencies are sometimes hard to find. Personnaly I package them as a single jar and added it dynamically to the build through some clever hacks inspired largely by other members of the present community :-)
Give it a try, may not be the uber cadillac with shiny chromed everything but it does work well and stays out of the way when you don't need it.

Where are good and current resources for anyone hacking on the CDT (C/C++ development toolkit) for Eclipse? In particular, I would like to know more about the internal architecture and structure of the C++ parser, and how the AST, DOM, PDOM, Models, and UI interrelate and interact. My interest is in adding support for extensions to C++ to the CDT environment.
Many of the resources that are found via google are obsolete: I would like information about the current state of CDT e.g. CDT 6.0.x or 6.1.x, roughly Eclipse 3.5 and 3.6. The code base, while seemingly well structured, is large, complex and sparsely commented / documented.
Any sort of information useful to a programmer working on the CDT C++ support with respect to the CDT editor and outline views would be appreciated.
Resources I have found are:
The blog of CDT developer Doug Schaefer is one.
The CDT-dev mailing list is another, and the homepage of the CDT project has a developer section too.
Getting started with CDT development.
and a section on programming against the CDT in the User FAQ.
There is also an overview of parsing.
My first stop on anything like this I want to do has always been:
The Eclipse Corner Articles
Here you will find the best articles on any subject within eclipse. However, it is not extensive, and articles may be outdated (but not often). Do remember that even old articles for previous versions of Eclipse may still give an accurate representation of the current situation, and often just a few minor things have changed.
If I remember correctly from a plug-in I wrote my self several years back, the architecture of the CDT AST and family is very similar to the JDT so it may help to expand your search to include the Java equivalents.
I do wish you good luck, because as you said the CDT is sparsely documented, and you will have to figure some things out on your own. Also the quality of the code in Eclipse varies wildly, although the central modules (of which JDT and CDT are two) are quite good if I remember correctly.
