-The other fields are automatically set.
-Click on //Next > //
-The key information is shown now.
-Select the checkbox `Accept and store this key, and continue connecting?`

-In the resulting window, click //Next > //
-In the next window, all subprojects must be selected.

-=== From GitLab ===
-This method do not require any Gitlab account.
-It is possible to simply download the directory of source code from GitLab on the main page [[https://gitlab.com/grogra/groimp]]. There is a download arrow button right next to the _clone_ button.
-You can then download the whole repository as any archive format you like.
-Once it is downloaded, extract the archive to the directory where you want to setup your eclipse workspace.
-You still need to import the repository in Eclipse. See two section bellow.
-=== From a bash command ===
-You can clone a repository from GitLab with the command line:
-<code>
-git clone  https://gitlab.com/grogra/groimp.git
-</code>
-This will create a directory named groimp and download all the remote content in it.
-You still need to import the repository in Eclipse. See the section bellow.
-=== Import the repository in Eclipse ===
+==== Import the repository in Eclipse ====
