I really appreciate your help with this Jeff. You must be better at 
googling than I am ;-)

Maybe I'm having a stupid day but I can't figure out for the life of me 
how to actually install this plug-in in Eclipse. I've spent the last hour 
searching Eclipse help screens and googling for some insight into how to 
install WS4E but I keep coming up with fragmentary information that makes 
a lot of unwarranted assumptions about what I already know.

I downloaded WS4E from Sourceforge easily enough and unzipped it into a 
directory. But that's where I'm stuck. According to a website I found, 
http://www.venukb.com/2006/08/20/install-eclipse-plugins-the-easy-
way/,the normal thing to do is to copy the plugins and features 
directories from the downloaded directory to their counterparts in 
Eclipse. The downloaded directory only has a plugins directory but I 
copied that in my Eclipse plugins directory and restarted Eclipse but I 
can't see one iota of difference in my Eclipse. I don't see any "Start 
JWS" option anywhere (although I may simply have failed to look in the 
right place because they don't tell you where to expect things to change) 
and my program still crashes on the "uninitialized" error. 

I tried using the Update Manager approach but I don't see WS4E anywhere. 
Again, though, they don't specify what update site to search to find it.  
I've tried http://sourceforge.net and http://webstart.sourceforge.net but 
I just get a "could not find" error for both.

I tried using the "easy" method advocated at the link I cited but I still 
see nothing that looks like a Java Web Start option anywhere. 

Any suggestions you or anyone could offer here would be greatly 
appreciated. I fully expect that installing this plugin would solve my 
problem with the FileOpenService initialization error; I just can't 
figure out HOW to install it.
