Introduction

The functionality of Eclipse can be extended with more plugins and these are often free and sometimes open source. They can usually be installed the same way as you first installed WOLips. Simply get the appropriate update "Update URL" for the plugin (or somtimes a selection of plugins), create a remote update site and install)
