	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	+* Learn a lot about WebObjects and EOF (and Java development styles)
	6	+* Easily browse and search the source
	7	+* Work with a specific source control version (teams, quality control, development cycles)
	8	+* Provide opportunities to submit patches for bug fixes or enhancements
	9	+* Add logging statements in Wonder source so you can better understand what is going when tracking down hard to find bugs
	10	+* Discover the many Hidden Treasures of Wonder.

74		-* h5. Use Wonder source code projects in your Eclipse workspace
75		-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]]
	64	+1. Install the frameworks (this just copies the built frameworks from /Roots to the runtime Frameworks directory, usually at /Library/Frameworks)

79		-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.*

84		-For building and installing the Wonder Frameworks, please see the standard [[Building and Installing WO Frameworks with Ant>>WO:Building and Installing a Framework with Ant]] pages.
	74	+1. Navigate to the Roots directory that was automatically created by the initial Source installation procedure above

87	87
88		-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.
	80	+1. Delete all installed frameworks whose names match the built frameworks in this Roots build folder

92		-* h5. Build Project Wonder frameworks with Hudson/Jenkins
93		-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.
	86	+1. Navigate to the original Wonder source directory that you created above during initial source installation

	88	+{{code value="none"}}
	89	+cd /path/to/WonderSource
	90	+{{/code}}
	91	+
	92	+1. Pull the changes you do not have and merge them with your local repository

	110	+If you have any trouble or errors due to your local repository getting hosed, then simply delete the entire local repository directory, the \~/Roots directory and just start over using the initial source clone and installation procedure outlined above.

	114	+{{info value="Custom Development Enviroment File layout using Custom wolips.properties"}}
	115	+
	116	+If you have a custom wolips properties file for a specific workspace and you want to have a specific Wonder clone for that workspace, you can simply link your custom wolips properties file to a soft link named build.properties in the working copy root directory. The Wonder build script will supersede all other filesystem layout poperties with the properties in that file.
	117	+
	118	+For example:
	119	+
	120	+{code:none}
	121	+cd my/special/purpose/clone/of/Wonder
	122	+ln -s ~/Library/Application\ Support/WOLips/wolips.custom.properties build.properties
	123	+{code}
	124	+
	125	+An example of where this approach might be used would be when you have different projects (perhaps in a specially designated workspace) that use a specific version of WebObjects and a specific version or branch of Wonder.
	126	+
	127	+*Tip:* Specify a custom build directory for Wonder by adding the property 'wo.external.root' to the custom wolips properties file, for example
	128	+{code:none}
	129	+wo.external.root=/Users/mike/Developer/special/directory/Roots
	130	+{code}
	131	+
	132	+*Tip:* A custom WebServer install directory can be specified to Wonder by adding the property 'wo.server.root' to the custom wolips properties file also.
