4. Copy all necessary plug-ins (containing linux.x86 or win32.x86) from plugins into your plugins folder under your eclipse installation.
5. Start that Eclipse and set up a custom target platform:

• Unzip SMILA-xxx-.zips:

• Unzip SMILA-incubation-win32.win32.x86.zip into a directory (e.g. E:\ SMILA-incubation-win32.win32.x86). You may download it from SMILA-incubation-win32.win32.x86.zip
• Unzip Smila-test-and-sample.zip into a directory (e.g. E:\Smila-test-and-sample). You may download it from SMILA-test-and-sample.zip
