christian 263.1 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.

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.

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.
