I have tried dowmloading WTP manually from the eclipse website and using the
install manager in the Eclipse help menu. I have found the following:
1. There is no documentation that tells you how to install WTP ANYWHERE
2. The manual download is missing a file called .eclipseextension. Google
was of limited help, Eclipse.org none whatsoever.
3. Each time I use the install manager I find different upgrade sites,
mirrors and features available. One the one occasion I did find WTP, it
downloaded but didn't seem to install properly.
4. Now whenever I start Eclipse (3.1.1.) I get OLE/registry errors.
5. I suppose I should be grateful that people are giving this software away
for nothing, but I have spent many hours battling with this, and if it DOES
NOT WORK, it's just a waste of my f*cking time.
Is anybody else tearing their hair out over this?

Maybe because it installs like any other Eclipse plugin ? I mean :
a) extract directly to Eclipse installation folder.
b) extract to your extension folder.

Why should they provide this file ? Maybe i'm too naive, but it's too hard
to create a 3 line file with content like this :
id=my.plugins.directory
name=My plugins
version=1.0.0

WTP 0.7 was on update sites. But there was a notice on WTP page that you
should install it to default location.

I have no windows, so i can't say anything about this issue.

It works for many many people, so problem is with your machine :-).

It's detailed in the FAQ, however the Update Manager site will not
be updated for 1.0 until early January.

The .eclipseextension file is only needed if you wish to install WTP
to a location outside of your Eclipse install. Most users won't
need it.

Can you be more elaborate about the failures you saw?

Do you have anything extra installed?
