I found building.md file that helps me to build and debug the projects, but is there any documentation about the role of each one ?

There are just two projects with the actual code:

org.robotframework.ide.core-functions -> this one is just a jar library with core things like parsers, communication with execution agent, things like this

org.robotframework.ide.eclipse.main.plugin -> the plugin to eclipse itself with all the code using different eclipse APIs; project models; editors; completion assintents and more

The rest is actually to build different eclipse artifacts like the feature, update-site, product etc. There is also another plugin project which contains the brandings (just some images)
