deep can be installed and used as an eclipse plugin.

Opening the deep perspective (Window → Open Perspective) gives you a set of views appropriate for deep development. It also enables the deep project creation wizard.

Instead of editing the deep project file manually the settings can be altered by choosing Project → Properties. Alternatively you can press the right mouse button on the project name in the package explorer:

All the run configurations of all projects in a workspace can be edited with Properties - > Run/Debug Settings.

With Run/Debug setting you can choose which run configuration of the chosen board you want to run. All the available run configuration (must be defined in the board description file) are listed. One of them can be chosen.

Refactoring is a very powerful tool in the eclipse framework. You can rename a deep project by choosing a project in the package explorer and pressing Shift+Alt+R. The project together with its associated deep project file will be renamed.

The default values for new projects such as library path, board type, os type and programmer can be set in the deep preferences. This is done as follows.
