15 -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.
12 +The first requirement for installing WOLips is that you have Eclipse. It is recommended that you install Eclipse 3.3.2 to use WOLips. To install Eclipse, go to the [[Eclipse 3.3.2 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.

17 -{{warning}}
14 +Note: Eclipse 3.4 is not recommended for WOLips stable, if you plan to use the Latest Eclipse you need to use the Nightly build.

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\! :-)
