3	3	Instead of downloading the Wonder binaries, working from the latest source code directly can have some advantages such as:
4	4
5		-* Ability to conveniently browse and search 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
	5	+* Learn very much about WebObjects and EOF (and java dev styles?)
	6	+* Easily browse and search the source
	7	+* Work with a specific svn version (teams, quality control, development cycles)
	8	+* Provide opportunities to submit patches for bug fixes or enhancements
8	8	* Add logging statements in Wonder source so you can better understand what is going when tracking down hard to find bugs
9		-* Work with specific versions of Wonder in a project - good practice for quality control, especially for teams
	10	+* Discover the many Hidden Treasures of Wonder

13		-* Open a terminal shell and navigate to the directory where you want to maintain the WonderSource directory and decide on a name of the folder that will contain the Wonder source. For this example, we will use the name //WonderSource//
14		-* Perform initial checkout of Wonder source tree from Subversion head using the following command. This checks out the source into the directory //WonderSource//, automatically creating //WonderSource// if it does not exist.
	14	+As of March 25th, 2011, Wonder is maintained on github. So git is what we use to get a local clone of the repository allowing us to directly use Wonder source.
15	15
16		-{{noformat}}
	16	+Open a terminal and navigate to a directory where you want to maintain a source "working copy" and just use the following easy-peasy commands to clone Wonder source to your own hard-drive.
17	17
18		-svn co http://wonder.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wonder/trunk/Wonder WonderSource
	18	+{{code title="Cloning Project Wonder for the First Time"}}

20		-{{/noformat}}
	20	+# Clone the source repository from github into a new directory named "WonderSource".
	21	+# Note the URL shown here is the public read-only URL. Committers should use the SSH form of the URL for read-write
	22	+git clone git://github.com/projectwonder/wonder.git WonderSource
21	21
22		-* As often as you prefer you can keep this up to date as follows:
	24	+# Navigate into the working copy root
	25	+cd WonderSource
23	23
24		-{{noformat}}
	27	+# If you are still using old WebObjects 5.3.3, then you need to execute one git command at this point
	28	+# before you build Wonder to switch to the branch that is source-compatible with WO 5.3.3. See the tip at the bottom of the page.
25	25
	30	+# Build the frameworks from the source (Assumes you are using WebObjects 5.4.3,
	31	+# which is currently compatible with 'master' branch. See note below for WebObjects 5.3.3 compatible install)
	32	+ant frameworks
	33	+
	34	+# Install the frameworks (this just copies the built frameworks from ~/Roots to
	35	+# the runtime Frameworks directory, usually at /Library/Frameworks)
	36	+sudo ant frameworks.install
	37	+
	38	+{{/code}}
	39	+
	40	+== Source Frameworks Upgrade Installation ==
	41	+
	42	+Assuming you already cloned and installed Wonder from source using the method outlined above, you can use the following procedure pull the latest changes into your local repository.
	43	+
	44	+{{code title="Updating your Source"}}
	45	+
	46	+# Navigate to the Roots directory that was automatically created by the initial Source installation procedure above
	47	+cd ~/Roots/
	48	+
	49	+# Delete all installed frameworks whose names match the built frameworks in this Roots build folder
	50	+for FRAMEWORK in `echo *.framework`; do sudo rm -r /Library/Frameworks/${FRAMEWORK}; done
	51	+
	52	+# Navigate to the original Wonder source directory that you created above during initial source installation
26	26	cd /path/to/WonderSource
27		-svn up
28	28
29		-{{/noformat}}
	55	+# Pull the changes you do not have and merge them with your local repository
	56	+git pull
30	30
31		-== Build and Install Wonder ==
	58	+# Clean, build and install the frameworks
	59	+ant clean; ant frameworks; sudo ant frameworks.install
32	32
33		-* Follow the "Building with Ant" instructions in the BUILD.txt document in the Wonder directory
	61	+{{/code}}
34	34
35		-{{warning title="WebObjects 5.4.X Compatability"}}
	63	+{{info value="Legacy WebObjects 5.3.3 Compatability"}}
36	36
37		-The default instructions in Wonder's BUILD.txt produce binaries that are compatable with WO 5.3.3. If you are using WO 5.4.X, then you need to add the "-Dwonder.patch=54" option to the ant commands. For example:
	65	+If you are still stuck on WebObjects 5.3.3, for whatever reason, then you need to checkout and switch to the Wonder_5_0_0_Legacy branch *before* you build (before you run 'ant frameworks'). And this is *much* easier with git than it used to be with subversion. Just one command:
	66	+
	67	+{code}
	68	+git checkout --track origin/Wonder_5_0_0_Legacy
	69	+{code}
	70	+
38	38
39		-ant \-Dwonder.patch=54 frameworks; sudo ant \-Dwonder.patch=54 frameworks.install
	72	+{{/info}}
40	40
41		-Alternatively, to avoid having to type the \-Dwonder.patch=54 option every time, one can create a build.properties file at the root of the Wonder directory that contains the following line : wonder.patch=54
	74	+{{info}}
42	42
43		-{{/warning}}
	76	+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.
44	44
45		-== Concepts ==
	78	+{{/info}}
46	46
47		-This complete procedure results in you having
	80	+{{info value="Custom Development Enviroment File layout using Custom wolips.properties"}}
48	48
49		-* a Wonder directory with the whole Wonder source tree (directories, projects, frameworks, example apps, miscellaneous, etc.) inside.
50		-* The binary Wonder frameworks ("ant frameworks") will be installed in /Library/Frameworks.
51		-* If you ran "ant applications", they will be installed in ...
52		-* If you ran "ant examples", they will be installed in ...
	82	+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.
	83	+
	84	+For example:
	85	+
	86	+{code}
	87	+$ cd my/special/purpose/clone/of/Wonder
	88	+$ ln -s ~/Library/Application\ Support/WOLips/wolips.custom.properties build.properties
	89	+{code}
	90	+
	91	+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.
	92	+
	93	+*Tip:* Specify a custom build directory for Wonder by adding the property 'wo.external.root' to the custom wolips properties file, for example
	94	+{code}
	95	+wo.external.root=/Users/mike/Developer/special/directory/Roots
	96	+{code}
	97	+
	98	+*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.
