"Quick" Install

The second easiest way to install WOLips is to follow the steps in the Install WOLips with Eclipse Update Manager tutorial. If this is your first time using WOLips, this is the recommended method for installing WOLips.

WOLips Nightly Build Server

Nightly builds of WOLips are maintained in several forms at http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/. Among the various packagings you will find are:

• http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/wolips-latest-site.tar.gz
  This is a .tar.gz of the webobjects.mdimension.com WOLips and Project Wonder update site. If you would like to install from a local repository, you can download this. This package does NOT include any of the Callisto features, so you will need to install those from the Callisto Discovery Site.
• http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/wolips-latest-src.tar.gz
  This is the latest source to WOLips if you do not want to check it out from CVS.

Installing from a Local Build

1. If you made changes locally, Eclipse will not automatically install your changed plugins if the version number is the same. You have two options -- either uninstall WOLips or cheat and increment the WOLips build version prior to building your local copy. To uninstall WOLips, just delete all org.objectstyle features and plug ins from your eclipse folder. To increment the build server version, open buildserver.version in your projects folder and increment the last number. Note that you will now be "competing" with version numbers from the official build server, so the next official build will not install because you already used the next number, but sometimes it's a quick hack to force an update if you're lazy :-)
2. Assuming you now have your build versions under control, you should follow the instructions for Building WOLips
3. Launch Eclipse
4. Help=>Software Updates=>Find and install ...
5. Search for new features to install
6. New Local Site
7. Browse to and select your workspace/projects/temp/dist folder or your woproject/projects/temp/dist folder (depending on whether you checked out in eclipse or command line)
8. Check the box next to it, continue, and just keep selecting the "Yes"/"OK"/"Approve"/etc buttons
