1 -{{tip title="Now with more Git"}}
1 +== Introduction ==
2 2  
3 -As of March 25th, 2011 the Wonder source code is now maintained on [GitHub|https://github.com/] at [https://github.com/projectwonder]. You'll need to be familiar with the [Git|http://git-scm.com/] Source Code Management system. [Here's|WO:Getting Started with Git] 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.
3 +Instead of downloading the Wonder binaries, working from the latest source code directly can have some advantages such as:

5 -{{/tip}}
5 +* Ability to browse the source code and learn from the wisdom and experience of the WO committers
6 +* Put breakpoints in and step through Wonder source when debugging your projects
7 +* Provide opportunities to submit patches to bugs you might find in Wonder
8 +* Add logging statements in Wonder source so you can better understand what is going when tracking down hard to find bugs
6 6  
7 -== Why? ==
10 +This documents my 'ideal' setup on my own system. I am sure there are variations. Wiki contributors may want to add other pages for what they consider other ideal Wonder setups

9 -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:
12 +== Downloading Wonder Source from CVS ==
10 10  
11 -* You'll learn a lot about WebObjects, EOF and Object-Oriented Patterns
12 -* Easily search and browse Project Wonder
13 -* Work with a specific revision of Project Wonder, which is key for teams, quality control and development cycles
14 -* Add logging statements to Project Wonder so you can better understand what it is doing when tracking down hard to find bugs
15 -* Discover the Many Hidden Treasures of Wonder™.
14 +* Decide on a directory where you will maintain the latest Wonder source tree on your hard drive. I have a directory ',,/WonderLatest' in my home folder.,,
15 +* Open a terminal shell and navigate to the directory
16 16  
17 -== Download It ==
17 +{{noformat}}

19 -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.
19 +cd ~/WonderLatest
20 20  
21 -1. h5. Clone the source repository from GitHub into a new directory named "WonderSource" or whatever you'd like.

24 -Note the URL shown here is the public read-only URL. Committers should use the SSH form of the URL for read-write

23 +* Next perform initial checkout of Wonder source tree from CVS head using the following command. This creates a folder named Wonder

66 -== Use It ==

68 -* h5. Use Wonder source code projects in your Eclipse workspace
69 -The best way to make use of Project Wonder is obviously to import the source code projects directly into your Eclipse workspace. Why would you be reading this page if that isn't what you are trying to do? Detailed instructions are here: [[WONDER:Working with Wonder source in Eclipse]]

71 -{{note title="Ant Builds on your Development Machine"}}
72 -
73 -WOlips' "Incremental Builder" is an incredibly helpful feature during development, but it does things that the Ant deployment build does not do. If you are *either* using WOLips to build your WebObjects Applications (_WOLips Ant Tools > Install_) *or* are [running Hudson/Jenkins|WO:Installing and Using the Hudson build server] locally to do it, you *must* also build and install your workspace's Frameworks that your Application depends upon -- including your own, Project Wonder's and any others. *The standard Ant build does {color:#ff0000}NOT{color} do this for you.*

75 -{{/note}}
76 -
77 -* h5. Build and Install Project Wonder Binary Frameworks
78 -For building and installing the Wonder Frameworks, please see the standard [[Building and Installing WO Frameworks with Ant>>WO:Building and Installing a WO Framework with Ant]] pages.
79 -
80 -{{note title="Using Both Binary and Source Code Frameworks on Your Development Machine"}}
81 -
82 -If you have both Source Code projects and the built, Binary Frameworks installed, you need to make sure you build all source code frameworks that your project depends upon first. _The standard Ant build does not do this for you._ Ant builds only use binary frameworks so if the installed frameworks are not up to date your Ant build could fail, or worse, succeed but contain run-time errors.
83 -
84 -{{/note}}
85 -
86 -* h5. Build Project Wonder frameworks with Hudson/Jenkins
87 -The ideal way to build WebObjects frameworks and applications is to use a "Continuous Integration Server" or "Build Server" like Hudson or Jenkins. This allows you to automate the often complex process of building WebObjects projects that have several dependencies on frameworks. Instructions on how to setup a Hudson/Jenkins server is are available on the [[WO:Installing and Using Jenkins and Hudson Build Servers]] page.
