18 -The first requirement for installing WOLips is that you have Eclipse. It is recommended that you install Eclipse 3.4.1 to use WOLips. To install Eclipse, go to the [[Eclipse 3.4.1 Download Site>>http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/]] and download (Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers recommended) the build that matches your operating system and uncompress it.

32 -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)

38 -4. First, let's verify that you're running Eclipse with Java 5. Go to the "Eclipse" menu, and select "About Eclipse SDK"
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.

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.
