	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 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
	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

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:
	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.

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™.

	42	+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:

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]]
	84	+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.
76	76
77		-{{note title="Ant Builds on your Development Machine"}}
	86	+For example:
78	78
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.*
	88	+{code}
	89	+$ cd my/special/purpose/clone/of/Wonder
	90	+$ ln -s ~/Library/Application\ Support/WOLips/wolips.custom.properties build.properties
	91	+{code}
80	80
81		-{{/note}}
	93	+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.
82	82
83		-* h5. Build and Install Project Wonder Binary Frameworks
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.
	95	+*Tip:* Specify a custom build directory for Wonder by adding the property 'wo.external.root' to the custom wolips properties file, for example
	96	+{code}
	97	+wo.external.root=/Users/mike/Developer/special/directory/Roots
	98	+{code}
85	85
86		-{{note title="Using Both Binary and Source Code Frameworks on Your Development Machine"}}
	100	+*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.
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.

91		-
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 Configuring Jenkins Build Server]] page.
