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.

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).
12 +~1. First, let's verify that you're running Eclipse with Java 5. Go to the "Eclipse" menu, and select "About Eclipse SDK"
12 12  
13 -~1. Launch the Eclipse application.

17 -2. The first window that will appear on a new installation of Eclipse is the workspace folder selection dialog. Your workspace is the folder that will contain all of your active projects along with the metadata Eclipse requires to maintain the projects.
18 +2. On the About dialog, choose "Configuration Details"

23 -3. The first time you launch Eclipse, you will be taken to the Welcome screen. You can review the Welcome content if you would like. When you are finished, select the "Workbench" icon on the right side, as pictured below. After this there is a small pane in the lower right status bar, where you can look up the Welcome screen again.
24 +3. Scroll down until you find "java.version" and verify that it is listed as some variant of 1.5.x (the exact version is not important)

29 -4. Currently you have a stock Eclipse installation which will allow you to do normal Java development, but it does not contain any of the WOLips plugins, so you will not have any of the WebObjects development tools. To begin your WOLips installation, go to the Help=>Software Updates=>Find and Install ... menu item.
30 +4. If it is not, you will need to change your default Java VM to be Java 5 (see Apple's instructions for this), or you will need to modify the Info.plist inside the Eclipse.app to tell it to open with only Java 5. If Eclipse is running in 1.5, then close the dialogs back out to the main Eclipse window and proceed.

41 -6. The next dialog you get to shows the list of update sites that are available in your Eclipse install. The first time you go through this process, you will need to create the Remote Install site that points to the WOLips server. After the initial install, you can skip this step and just select the already existing WOLips site instead. To continue, select "New Remote Site" on the right hand side.
44 +7. The first time you launch Eclipse, you will be taken to the Welcome screen. You can review the Welcome content if you would like.
