This is what works for me, starting from nothing.
0. Install Java8
1. Install Eclipse for Committers
2. Install WOLips and m2e plugins
3. Create ~.m2/settings.xml that points to wocommunity repository
http://maven.wocommunity.org/content/groups/public/
(I actually have a Nexus repository manager I point to, and it does this part. The wiki.wocommunity.org has an example settings.xml you can use though)
4. Add WORemote archetypes catalog in eclipse:
http://maven.wocommunity.org/service/local/repositories/snapshots/content/archetype-catalog.xml
5. Add lifecycle mappings in eclipse for any plugin executions you need eclipse to ignore.
6. File, New, Other…, Maven Project, next>>, Catalog: WORemote, Include Snapshot Archetypes
Pick the appropriate project and create.
You probably also want to search the list for JarResourceRequestHandler and some additional boilerplate to stick in your application’s didFinishLaunching() method.

I wanted to use maven to manage my dependencies; I like the predictability and the structure of maven instead of the free form of ant or gradle. Anyway, I was able to create a "Hello World" Application but I was not able to run it as a WOApplication. This is the error that I get:
