Summary

This PR improves the Docker onboarding documentation for first-time SW360 contributors.

Changes

  • added a first-time contributor quick start section
  • added a recommended local setup path
  • added Windows-specific setup notes
  • added a troubleshooting section for common setup issues
  • updated the table of contents

Why

While onboarding locally for GSoC 2026, I noticed a few setup gaps that can slow down new contributors, especially on Windows and Eclipse-based environments. This update aims to make the first local setup path clearer and smoother.

Hi everyone, I’m onboarding to SW360 for GSoC 2026 and I’ve just opened a small documentation PR to improve Docker onboarding for first-time contributors. I noticed a few setup pain points during local setup, especially around Windows and Eclipse import flow, so I wanted to contribute an improvement while getting familiar with the project.
