| - | + | ||
| - | I will detail here the steps I've done to achieve such a high end: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | I've used the eclipse helios version in a Windows XP platform. I don't if the platform affect to the result, but just to be sure.... | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== To the point ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | I've assumed that eclipse is installed in the directory ECLIPSE_HOME. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | You have to identify the version of eclipse you are running. To do so, the usual eclipse -> about eclipse. Take those "Build id:" numbers that appear. In may case are of the form " | + | |

| - | You will find a directory web-archive. Under web-archive, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Import it as a project in eclipse. Here are the steps, no so well commented in the eclipse documentation: | + | |
