3 -There are two update sites at the moment (as of 27th Aug 2007):
3 +* Requirements
4 +** System Requirements: Eclipse 3.4.2, or 3.5.2 (Carbon recommended - Cocoa is slow)
5 +** If you want to be on the cutting edge you can use Eclipse 3.6
6 +** Java 1.5 or greater (not Java 1.4)
4 4  
5 -* stable WOLips for Eclipse 3.2.2 or smaller (NOT 3.3): http:~/~/webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/stable
6 -* development version (Eclipse 3.3 only): http:~/~/webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/nightly
7 -(development version is not yet considered production ready)
8 +* WOLips plugin URL for your respective version of Eclipse:
9 +** Eclipse 3.4 (Stable): [[http:~~/~~/webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips34Stable/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/site/>>http://webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips34Stable/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/site/]]
10 +** Eclipse 3.5 (Stable): [[http:~~/~~/webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips35Stable/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/site/>>http://webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips35Stable/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/site/]]
11 +** Eclipse 3.6 (Experimental): [[http:~~/~~/webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips36Current/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/site/>>http://webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips36Current/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/site/]]

9 -You definitely need to run Eclipse with Java 1.5. If you get strange errors after installing WOLips, it quite probably is because Eclipse is running Java 1.4. (For MacOSX, check the file Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist)

13 -The first requirement for installing WOLips is that you have Eclipse. It is recommended that you install Eclipse 3.2.2 to use WOLips. To install Eclipse, go to the [[Eclipse 3.2.2 Download Site>>http://europa-mirror1.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/index.php]] and download the build that matches your operating system and uncompress it.

19 +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\! :-)

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.

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.

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.

If it is not, you will need to change your default Java VM to be Java 5 (or 6) (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 (or 6). If Eclipse is running in 1.5 (or 1.6), then close the dialogs back out to the main Eclipse window and proceed.
