		Currently the Tools support Eclipse 3.5 and Eclipse 3.6 with the
		corresponding version of WTP. Downloading and
		unzipping the

		You may like to change the Eclipse launcher options to increase the
		values of
		<literal>-XX:MaxPermSize</literal>
		,
		<literal>-Xms</literal>
		, and
		<literal>-Xmx</literal>
		. Suggested values, if you have plenty of RAM, are

		<literal>2500m</literal>
		, respectively.
