 ### Adding the Plugin to your Workspace
 
 The Plugin is implemented as an Eclipse Plugin Project. To execute the Plugin you have to
 
-1. Install and start Eclipse (or an Eclipse-based application such as Papyrus)
-2. Create a new Eclipse Workspace
-3. Clone this repository to your computer
-4. Add the Eclipse Projects contained in this repository to your Eclipse Workspace via the "File" --> "Import..." --> "Existing Projects into Workspace" dialog
-5. Clone another repository that actually adds the model transformation functionality, such as model-UA/uml-to-opcua-qvto to your computer
-6. Add the Eclipse Projects contained in the newly cloned repository to your Eclipse Workspace as described in Step 4.
-7. Start the Plugin by right-clicking on the "at.ac.tuwien.auto.modelua.uml2opcua.ui" Project and selecting "Run As" --> "Eclipse Application"
-8. Check the result by right-clicking in the Project Explorer of the newly started Eclipse instance. It should now contain the "Transform to OPC UA" menu entry.
