1 -=== Short Story ===
1 +The first requirement for installing WOLips is that you have Eclipse. It is recommended that you install Eclipse 3.2.1 to use WOLips. To install Eclipse, go to the [[Eclipse 3.2.1 Download Site>>http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.1-200609210945/index.php]] and download the build that matches your operating system and uncompress it.

3 -* Requirements
4 -** System Requirements: Eclipse 3.6.1 (32-bit or 64-bit depending on your architecture)
5 -** Java 1.5 or greater (not Java 1.4)
3 +~1. Launch the Eclipse application.

7 -* WOLips plugin URL for your respective version of Eclipse:
8 -** Eclipse 3.4 (Stable): [[http:~~/~~/webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips34Stable/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/site/>>http://webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips34Stable/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/site/]]
9 -** Eclipse 3.5 (Stable): [[http:~~/~~/webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips35Stable/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/site/>>http://webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips35Stable/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/site/]]
10 -** Eclipse 3.6 (Stable): [[http://webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips36Stable/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/]]

13 -=== Long Story ===
7 +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.

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.

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\! :-)

27 -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.
13 +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 "Workspace" icon on the right side, as pictured below.

33 -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 and the tutorials are useful if you are unfamiliar with the platform. When you are finished, select the "Workbench" icon on the right side, as pictured below.
19 +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.

43 -4. First, let's verify that you're running Eclipse with Java 5. Go to the "Eclipse" menu, and select "About Eclipse"
31 +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.

49 -5. On the About dialog, click "Installation Details"
37 +7. In the New Update Site dialog, enter "WOLips" as the name, and make the URL http:~/~/www.mdimension.com/~~wolips/update and click OK.

55 -6. Click "Configuration" and Scroll down until you find "java.version" and verify that it is listed as some variant of 1.5.x or 1.6.x (the exact version is not important)
43 +8. You should now be returned to the list of install sites with your new Remote Install Site selected. When updating again later, you can start at this step. WOLips depends on some other plugins that are deployed on the Eclipse Callisto site, so you should also select the "Callisto Discovery Site" option, then click "Finish" to continue.

61 -7. 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.
49 +9. The next dialog shows you a list of Callisto mirrors. Select one of the mirros and click "OK".

65 -8. 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, from within Eclipse, select **Help** => **Install New Software...**
55 +10. Eclipse will now search the update sites for available plugins.

71 -9. This opens the "Install" panel where you can specify specific sites for Eclipse to download new software features. This dialog allows you to add/inspect any software features you have downloaded or were included in your default install of Eclipse. You can click "Available Software Sites" to see what was included by default.
61 +~11. Select the WOLips features that you would like to install. A "feature" is the name Eclipse gives to a set of related plugins. It's not strictly necessary to download the "tests" features, though selecting it will not cause any problems. If you are not on a Mac, you may not see the Mac goodies feature. You will notice that there is an error at the top of this dialog ~-~- that is because there are other required features and plugins that must be installed to use WOLips.

77 -10. To install WOLips you will need to add the WOLips update site to Eclipse. You do this by clicking the "Add" button.  In the Name field you can enter a name for your update site. The name is arbitrary but since you could have multiple similar update sites you should give it a name that leaves no doubt about what it is. In the Location field, enter the URL for the version of WOLips that matches your version of Eclipse (See the "Short Story" at the top of this page) and click OK. [[image:AddWOLipsSite.png]]
67 +12. **Eclipse Bug Workaround: You must expand the Callisto Discovery Site tree node before this next step.** Click the "Select Required" button, and Eclipse will find all the required plugins and features on the Callisto site to properly use WOLips. This may take a little bit to complete, but when it does, you will see quite a bit more features selected. Go ahead and click "Next" to proceed after the required plugins are highlighted.

81 -~11. You are returned to the "Install" panel, the WOLips site having been added to the list, and fully expanded to display all its offerings. Select features you want. If you're just getting started with WOLips you should select "WOLips" and "WOLips Goodies." Leave the other options until you are more familiar with Eclipse and WOLips and decide that you need them. (Here are some [[Other WOLips Install Options]].)
73 +13. This next dialog contains the license agreements for the selected features. After reviewing the agreements (you DO review your license agreements, right :) ), select "I accept the terms in this license agreement". Selecting this radio button will accept the license agreements for all of the features listed. Click "Next" to continue.
82 82  
83 -Depending on your platform, you should remove either "WOLips Goodies Win" (if you're on a Mac) or "WOLips Goodies Mac" (if ... **gasp**):

85 +15. Eclipse will now go off and download the features and plugins that you requested. You can choose to run this in the background, or wander off and get some coffee. It's a pretty big download, so this may take a while.

Selecting this radio button will accept the license agreements for **all** of the features listed. Click **Finish** to continue.
91 +16. Once the download is complete, Eclipse will present you with the installation confirmation for each feature. The easiest option is to just select "Install All," though you can review each one individually if you would like.
