Mike Schrag 157.1 10 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 the build that matches your operating system and uncompress it.

Mike Schrag 161.1 28 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.

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.
