There are many ways for anyone to help develop Project WOnder. It would be helpful to become familiar with the information in Creating and Submitting an Acceptable Patch. For more minute detail, you can keep up with the committers's progress moment by moment by subscribing to the SVN repository commit messages mailing list.

Project WOnder is a large set of frameworks and example applications and utility applications. Project WOnder can be used with different versions of WebObjects. (What versions of WOnder are compatible with what versions of WebObjects?) Developers may be using different tool sets to edit their projects, including eclipse and Xcode. Contributors should keep all of this in mind as they make changes.

Please see this tutorial on importing the Project Wonder sources into your eclipse environment.

There are dependencies between the frameworks that make up Project WOnder that must be kept in mind while changes are being made.

WebObjects Version Differences

Project WOnder works with both WebObjects 5.3 and 5.4 versions. <i>For how long will this be true?</i> Because of this, you may make changes to the Project Wonder frameworks that work in 5.4 and not in 5.3. There is a page which attempts to document the differences.
