    I update pretty frequently, and it's working the same, but I only do
    the version of updating where I select the sites to search. I don't
    know what Eclipse does with the other variation, but nothing but
    wolips ever changes, so it's not worth the waiting doing the other
    way (and it sounds like it might have some problems, too)

    # Help=>Software Updates=>Find and Install ...
    # Search for new features to install
    # Select only the WOLips site I want
    # Click "Next" on through to the end
