Installing the SWT update into Eclipse 2.1 does solve the drag and
drop problems that were previously reported. Experimentally, I have
also installed Eclipse 3.0 beta (i.e., the nightly build, where it is
not yet identified as 3.0 beta).
So far 3.0 works without major problems. I would note that after the
install of WOLips, when Eclipse suggested an automatic restart, this
apparently resulted in files not being updated. As a precaution,
don't do the auto restart, quit manually and when you relaunch,
Eclipse should have all the expected WOLips capabilities.
Running Max OS 10.2.6, JDK 1.3, WOLips 1.0.1
