1 -=== Short Story ===
1 +This tutorial assumes you have all of the WOLips dependencies already installed (see [[Installing WOLips]]).
2 2  
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)
3 +~1. To begin installing WOLips, go to the Help=>Software Updates=>Find and Install ... menu item
7 7  
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/]]

13 -=== Long Story ===
14 -
15 -The first requirement for installing WOLips is that you have Eclipse. It is recommended that you install Eclipse 3.4.2 to use WOLips. To install Eclipse, go to the [[Eclipse 3.4.2 Download Site>>http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/ganymede/sr2]] and download (Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers recommended) the build that matches your operating system and uncompress it.

17 -{{warning}}

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\! :-)
20 -
21 -{{/warning}}
22 -
23 -~1. Launch the Eclipse application.
24 -
25 25  ----
26 26  
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.
9 +2. Select "Search for new features to install" and click "Next"
28 28

31 31  ----
32 32  
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. 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.
15 +3. 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 a new Remote Install site. After the initial install, you can skip this step and just select the already existing Remote Install site instead. To continue, select "New Remote Site" on the right hand side.

37 37  ----
38 38  
39 -4. First, let's verify that you're running Eclipse with Java 5. Go to the "Eclipse" menu, and select "About Eclipse SDK"
21 +4. In the New Remote Install site dialog, pick a name for the site (it can be whatever you want) and make the URL http:~/~/www.mdimension.com/~~wolips/update and click OK.

44 44  
45 -5. On the About dialog, choose "Configuration Details"
27 +5. 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. Click "Finish" to continue.

51 -6. Scroll down until you find "java.vm.version" and verify that it is listed as some variant of 1.5.x or 1.6.x (the exact version is not important)
33 +6. The next dialog shows the list of available features on this update site. Click the checkbox next to the name of the install site (which should select all of the features), and then click "Next".

55 55  ----
56 56  
57 -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.
39 +7. The following dialog contains the license agreements for the selected features. After reviewing the agreement (you DO review your license agreements, right :) ), select "I accept the turns in this license agreement". Selecting this radio button is actually accepting ALL the license agreements. Click "Next" to continue.

61 -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 the Eclipse menu, select **Help** => **Software Updates...**. This opens the "Software Updates and Add-ons" panel.

67 -9. The "Installed Software" tab is selected. Click the **Available Software** tab to display the current list of update sites that are available in your Eclipse install:
45 +8. The next dialog shows a review of the features you selected. Click "Finish" to continue.

72 72  
73 -10. The first time you go through this process, you will need to add the WOLips site to the list. After the initial install, you can skip this step and just select the already existing WOLips site instead. To continue, select "Add Site..." on the right hand side. The "Add Site" panel appears. 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. i.e: For Eclipse 3.5, use [[http:~~/~~/webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips35Stable/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/site/>>http://webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLips35Stable/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/site/]]
51 +9. And if you weren't sick enough of confirmation dialogs, the next set of dialogs is the final confirmation for each feature. The easiest step is to just select "Install All".

85 -Depending on your platform, you should remove either "WOLips Goodies Win" (if you're on a Mac) or "WOLips Goodies Mac" (if ... **gasp**):
