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.
1 +=== Short Story ===

3 -~1. Launch the Eclipse application.
3 +* Plugin URL for Eclipse 3.3.2: [[http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/stable]]
4 +* System Requirements: Eclipse 3.3 or better
5 +* HIGHLY Recommended: Eclipse 3.3.2 (especially for Leopard)
6 +* Java 1.5 (not Java 1.4)
4 4  
5 -----
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
26 +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.

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.
38 +5. On the About dialog, choose "Configuration Details"

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.
50 +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.

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.
72 +~11. In the New Update Site dialog, enter "WOLips" as the name, and as the URL [[http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/stable]] and click OK.

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.
