To install Eclipse, go to the [[Eclipse 3.2.2 Download Site>>http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads]] and download the build that matches your operating system and uncompress it.

8 +* There is also a nightly build available at [[http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/nightly]] for those who want the latest, greatest features, even if it sometimes makes things unstable.

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.

56 +7. 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.
