<h2>1.0 Introduction</h2>
<p>Welcome to IBM's contribution to the Eclipse Web Tooling Platform
(WTP). The purpose of this document is to guide you through initial
setup of the code including any prerequisites and a high level tour
through each of the components which are being contributed for
evaluation. Before starting, please take note of <a
 href="#TermsAndConditions">Section 5, The Terms and Conditions</a> of
this contribution.</p>
<h2>2.0 Getting Started</h2>
<h3>2.1 Prerequisites</h3>
<p>Here are the prerequisites you need to download and extract to your
system:</p>
<ul>
  <li><a
 href="http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/R-3.0-200406251208/eclipse-SDK-3.0-win32.zip">Eclipse
Release 3.0 SDK</a> </li>
  <li><a
 href="http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/downloads/drops/2.0/R200406280827/emf-sdo-SDK-2.0.0.zip">EMF
2.0.0 SDK</a> </li>
  <li><a
 href="http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/downloads/drops/R-3.0-200406251257/GEF-ALL-3.0.zip">GEF
3.0.0 SDK</a> </li>
  <li><!-- Arthur Ryman 2004-09-29: Corrected broken link to JEM by copying zip to Web site -->
<!-- Ernest Mah 2004-09-30: Pointed to fixed link on the VE downloads -->
<a
 href="http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ve/downloads/wtpdrops/JEM-SDK-I20040728.zip">JEM
SDK</a>

Jave Edit Model SDK (shared with VE)</li>
  <li><a
 href="http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/downloads/drops/2.0/R200406280827/xsd-SDK-2.0.0.zip">XSD
2.0.0 SDK</a> </li>
  <li>1.4.2 JRE. We've focused most of our testing on Windows using the
    <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html">Sun 1.4.2 JRE</a>
  </li>
</ul>
<p>Once you've unzipped/installed all of the above, download the ibm.zip
and extract it. It contains an a copy of this "Getting Started" guide
and the com.ibm.wtp.sdk zip file. Unzip this SDK into the same location
as the above SDKs. The zip extracts with 'eclipse' as the root
directory.</p>
<h3>2.2 Launching Eclipse</h3>
<p>Note that if you installing into an existing Eclipse 3.0
environment, you'll need to launch eclipse with the -clean flag to
allow the environment to detect the new plugins. Subsequent launching
of eclipse won't require the -clean flag.</p>
<pre wrap="">eclipse -clean -vmargs -Xmx256m</pre>
<p>The VM arguments are required for indexing and java searching.</p>
