1 -The first requirement for installing WOLips is that you have Eclipse. It is recommended that you install Eclipse 3.2RC4 (the most recent release candidate as of the time of this tutorial) to use WOLips. To install Eclipse, go to the [[Eclipse 3.2RC4 Download Site>>http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.2RC4-200605121600/index.php]] and download the build that matches your operating system and uncompress it.
1 +This tutorial assumes you have all of the WOLips dependencies already installed (see [[Installing WOLips]]).

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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".

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.

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.
45 +8. The next dialog shows a review of the features you selected. Click "Finish" to continue.

57 +10. It will take a while to dialog the features and plugins (you can see the progress in the lower right). Once downloaded, the features and plugins will be verified ...

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.
63 +~11. Lastly, Eclipse will need to be restarted for the WOLips plugins to be available.

67 -12. 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.
