For example you might use these steps below, which are entirely manual. 1. Manually download and install the Sun JDK 5.0 2. Create a new Eclipse installation directory for yourself and thenmanually download and install the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (either Europa or Ganymede) into that new Eclipse installation directory. 3. Manually download and install the GEP from our unstable site (http://people.apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/unstable/2.1.2). Just unzip the geronimo-eclipse-plugin-2.1.2-deployable.zip file into your new Eclipse installation directory. 4. To verify that these steps have been successful, startup your new Eclipse installation and from the workspace select Help -- About Eclipse Platform. In the panel that appears you will see anywhere from 4-6 Eclipse icons representing the various Eclipse projects and/or components installed. You must also see the Geronimo icon -- if not something has not been installed correctly. If the Geronimo icon does not show up then please attach the .log file in the .metadata directory of your workspace that you are using and we can probably figure out what's wrong from it. If the Geronimo icon does appear that is a very good indication that Eclipse and the GEP have been installed correctly, and you can continue to the next step. 5. Manually download and install the Geronimo v2.1.1 with Tomcat like you did before, just remember where you installed/unzipped it. 6. Define a new Geronimo server runtime as described in the document above, but point to the directory you unzipped it in Step 5 above. If you get any errors please copy/paste them in your reply. 7. Next, start the new Geronimo server as described in the document above. It should start fine, but again if you get any errors please copy/paste them in your reply. 8. Finally, if the Geronimo server starts up okay, then go through this tutorial. It should work fine as well, but again if you get any errors please copy/past them in your reply and also attach the .log file in the .metadata directory of your workspace that you are using. - http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSAMPLES/5-minute-tutorial-on-enterprise- application-development-with-eclipse-and-geronimo.html 9.

Yes, there is certainly room for improvement in documentation. I think that is a struggle for all open source projects and Geronimo is no exception.
