+To enable transpilation of Jalview's code:
+
+1. Locate the 'dropins' directory in your eclipse installation and copy swingjs/net.sf.j2s.core.jar to it.
+  - typically it is at the top of the Eclipse installation, or on OSX under Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse
+  
+2. Restart Eclipse
+
+3. If all is well you should see the 'Java2Script' builder is listed as the primary builder for the Jalview project.
+  if not, this is because your properties file needs to have the standard java builder replaced with the following:
+  <name>net.sf.j2s.core.java2scriptbuilder</name>
+
+- otherwise Javascript files will now be generated in the site/swingjs/j2s directory whenever a build occurs
+
+4. Execute the 'unzip-to-site' task (if it isn't automatically run) to update the site directory with the latest versions of SwingJS, varna-js, JSmol and other dependencies required by Jalview.
