XCode is not used to develop WebObjects applications, but XCode installation includes software for development in general, such as command line tools, that are useful.
Install WebObjects using the Apple WebObjects 5.4.3 Installer dmg if you want "standard" OS X install paths.
Then open terminal and perform the "extra" stuff you need to do to get things complete. you will need to do all this as 'root', hence the sudo -s at the start.
sudo -s cd /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2 mv mod_WebObjects.so mod_WebObjects.so.obsolete curl -C - -O http://wocommunity.org/documents/tools/mod_WebObjects/Apache2.2/macosx/10.6/mod_WebObjects.so
cd /etc/apache2 cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.backup echo "Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf" >> httpd.conf apachectl restart
cd /Library/LaunchDaemons curl -C - -O http://www.greenislandconsulting.com/webobjects/com.apple.webobjects.wotaskd.plist curl -C - -O http://www.greenislandconsulting.com/webobjects/com.apple.webobjects.womonitor.plist launchctl load com.apple.webobjects.wotaskd.plist
Instructions for that step are right here:
Install WOLips with Eclipse Update Manager
Tutorial for that is here:
Create a new WO Application
Absolutely essential to add Wonder now. WIthout it, you will have "barebones and some bugs WebObjects". Wonder is a set of frameworks that fix the core WebObjects bugs and extend WebObjects functionality. it is where all active development of WebObjects is taking place. Even APple contribute to Wonder and use it themselves in the iTunes store, etc. You are really wasting you time if you try to develop in WebObjects without the addition of the Project Wonder frameworks. You only need the minimum integration to get the core essential functionality and all the bug fixes to WebObjects.
