I'm following the instructions for setting up a "bootstrap" ("self-hosting") workspace. But I'm stuck on the third step:

Install dependencies using File > Import > Install Software Items from File: mylyn-bootstrap.p2f

I select File > Import and expand all the folders in the Import dialog, and don't see "Install Software Items from File". (I do see "Team Project Set" from the fourth step, under the Team folder.)

Are these instructions assuming I've installed something other than "Eclipse 3.7 or later" from the first step?

I'm running an (as yet) unmodified "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, Version: Helios Service Release, Build id: 20110218-0911".

(I've also posted this question to StackOverflow: stackoverflow.com/questions/12582653/)

Answered on StackOverflow: I didn't see that I was using Helios (3.6), which is, of course, not 3.7 or later.
