WO developers have been able to deploy their applications as a WAR bundle in a J2EE container since WO 5.1, and as an independent SSDD (Servlet Single Directory Deployment) bundles since WO 5.2. There is some documentation out there already for preparing your apps for this if you use XCode, but more and more developers are ditching that in favor of the vastly superior (in my opinion) Eclipse/WOLips IDE. For more information on XCode, start here. This article is all about how to do things in Eclipse, and then as a bonus, how to create a deploy a project wonder application so that it runs in tomcat.

Open up the Filters window in package explorer (just like you did above to see the build.xml file), and uncheck build.properties (WOLips). Double click the build.properties file to edit it. There will be a line that looks like "webXML = ". Make that line read 'webXML = true' and then save the file.
