The free to download word document, InstallationofEclipseCodewindandDockerComposeonRHEL8LinuxV1.docx can be downloaded using the URL https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.36842.88007, which has the full step-by-step screenshots for the originally available installation of Codewind.
See the links given ahead. The latest version of the ResearchGate Document, InstallationofEclipseCodewindandDockerComposeonRHEL8LinuxV2.docx can be downloaded using the URL: https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.22777.34400. This covers the use of the archived version of Codewind from the Eclipse website:

The resulting installation of the container images can be built by using the Eclipse template project for the Appsody Python Flask project template build, or as shown in Figure 8.36, using the Appsody Spring Boot template for a new Java project build:
Figure 8.36: The Appsody Spring Boot default template for the Java language is selected
The loaded project is shown with the pre-built java code modules as shown in Figure 8.37 which gives the full structure used to build a working web application container:
