As of May 21th, 2013 the Wonder source code is now maintained on GitHub at https://github.com/wocommunity/wonder. You'll need to be familiar with the Git Source Code Management system. Here's a good place to start. You will use Git to checkout a local copy of the repository (a "clone" in Git terms) allowing you to have direct access to the Wonder source.

Why?

Instead of constantly re-downloading and installing the latest Project Wonder binaries you should work directly with the latest source code. It has several advantages including:

Download It!

Open a terminal and navigate to a directory where you want to maintain a source "working copy" and just use the following commands to clone Wonder source to your computer.

  1. Clone the source repository from GitHub into a new directory named "WonderSource" or whatever you'd like.
    git clone git://github.com/wocommunity/wonder.git WonderSource

    If "git://" does not work for you then use "http://"

    The URL above is the public, read-only URL.
    People with commit privileges for Project Wonder should use: git@github.com:wocommunity/wonder.git

    Do not change "git@..." to be your username.

    You should see output something like this:

    Cloning into WonderSource...
remote: Counting objects: 174269, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (57304/57304), done.
remote: Total 174269 (delta 107374), reused 173934 (delta 107067)
Receiving objects: 100% (174269/174269), 137.94 MiB | 8.29 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (107374/107374), done.
  2. Navigate into the working copy root
    cd WonderSource

    If you are still using old WebObjects 5.3.3, then you need to execute this git command to switch to the branch for WebObjects 5.3.3:

    git checkout --track origin/Wonder_5_0_0_Legacy

    You should get output like this:

    Branch Wonder_5_0_0_Legacy set up to track remote branch Wonder_5_0_0_Legacy from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'Wonder_5_0_0_Legacy'

If you have any trouble or errors due to your local repository getting corrupted, simply delete the entire local repository (the WonderSource directory) and start over using the same clone command above.

Use It!
