    5 - had the following issue:



    Centos_Developer-1.jpg

    ... and here is the console output.......

    [roo..entos WebObjects]# java -jar wo.jar
    Shuffling file structure for Linux: Done
    Installation Complete
    Expanding: /tmp/eclipse6343731233174647041.tar into /var/wo533
    An error occurred, you will have to create the <home.dir>/Library/
    wobuild.properties file yourself
    The contents should be:
    ACK! ACK! Baaaad JuJu! Not going to roll it back.
