9 -The first requirement for installing WOLips is that you have Eclipse. It is recommended that you install Eclipse 3.3.1 (or 3.3.1.1) to use WOLips. To install Eclipse, go to the [[Eclipse 3.3.1 Download Site>>http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/]] and download the build that matches your operating system and uncompress it.
14 +The first requirement for installing WOLips is that you have Eclipse. It is recommended that you install Eclipse 3.6.1 and use WOLips 3.6 Stable. To install Eclipse, go to the [[Eclipse 3.6.1 Download Site>>http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/helios/sr1]] and download (Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers recommended) the build that matches your operating system/processor and uncompress it.

11 -If you are going the 3.3.1 route, then as of Oct 15, 2007, the only distro that is up to 3.3.1 release is Eclipse Classic, so use that one (or, if you are so inclined, download one of the other versions and immediately run the Eclipse project update which will get you to 3.3.1).

18 +To avoid weird behavior, the complete path to the Eclipse executable must have *NO* spaces in it. Probably wise to ensure likewise with your workspace directory path. Your workspace should not include dashes either. You have been warned\! :-)

To begin your WOLips installation, go to the Help=>Software Updates=>Find and Install ... menu item.

If Eclipse is running in 1.5 (or 1.6), then close the dialogs back out to the main Eclipse window and proceed.
