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 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
	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
8	8	* 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.

12		-* 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.,,
13		-* Open a terminal shell and navigate to the directory
	14	+{{tip title="Now with more Git"}}
	15	+As of March 25th, 2011 the Wonder source code is now maintained on [GitHub|https://github.com/] at [https://github.com/projectwonder]. So you'll need to be familiar with the [Git|http://git-scm.com/] Source Code Management system. You will use it to get a local copy of the repository (a "clone" in Git terms) allowing us to have direct access to the Wonder source.
	16	+{{/tip}}

15		-{{noformat}}
	18	+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.
16	16
17		-mkdir ~/WonderLatest
	20	+1. Clone the source repository from github into a new directory named "WonderSource".
	21	+1. Note the URL shown here is the public read-only URL. Committers should use the SSH form of the URL for read-write

19		-{{/noformat}}
	23	+{{code}}
	24	+git clone git://github.com/projectwonder/wonder.git WonderSource
	25	+{{/code}}
20	20
21		-* Next perform initial checkout of Wonder source tree from Subversion head using the following command. This creates a folder named Wonder
	27	+1. Navigate into the working copy root
22	22
23		-{{noformat}}
	29	+{{code}}
	30	+cd WonderSource
	31	+{{/code}}
24	24
25		-svn co https://wonder.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wonder/trunk/Wonder ~/WonderLatest
	33	+{{note title="WebObjects 5.3.3 Compatability"}}
	34	+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:{code}git checkout --track origin/Wonder_5_0_0_Legacy{code}

29		-* As often as you prefer you can keep this up to date as follows:
	38	+1. Build the frameworks from the source.
30	30
31		-{{noformat}}
	40	+{{code}}
	41	+ant frameworks
	42	+{{/code}}
32	32
33		-cd ~/WonderLatest
34		-svn up
	44	+1. Install the frameworks (this just copies the built frameworks from /Roots to the runtime Frameworks directory, usually at /Library/Frameworks)
35	35
36		-{{/noformat}}
	46	+{{code}}
	47	+sudo ant frameworks.install
	48	+{{/code}}
37	37
38		-== Build and Install Wonder ==
	50	+œ
39	39
40		-* Follow the "Building with Ant" instructions in the BUILD.txt document in the Wonder directory
	52	+== Source Frameworks Upgrade Installation ==
41	41
42		-== Concepts ==
	54	+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	43
44		-This complete procedure results in you having
	56	+{{code title="Updating your Source"}}
45	45
46		-* a Wonder directory with the whole Wonder source tree (directories, projects, frameworks, example apps, miscellaneous, etc.) inside.
47		-* The binary Wonder frameworks ("ant frameworks") will be installed in /Library/Frameworks.
48		-* If you ran "ant applications", they will be installed in ...
49		-* If you ran "ant examples", they will be installed in ...
	58	+# Navigate to the Roots directory that was automatically created by the initial Source installation procedure above
	59	+cd ~/Roots/
	60	+
	61	+# Delete all installed frameworks whose names match the built frameworks in this Roots build folder
	62	+for FRAMEWORK in `echo *.framework`; do sudo rm -r /Library/Frameworks/${FRAMEWORK}; done
	63	+
	64	+# Navigate to the original Wonder source directory that you created above during initial source installation
	65	+cd /path/to/WonderSource
	66	+
	67	+# Pull the changes you do not have and merge them with your local repository
	68	+git pull
	69	+
	70	+# Clean, build and install the frameworks
	71	+ant clean; ant frameworks; sudo ant frameworks.install
	72	+
	73	+{{/code}}
	74	+
	75	+{{info}}
	76	+
	77	+If you have any trouble or errors due to your local repository getting hosed, then simply delete the entire local repository directory, the \~/Roots directory and just start over using the initial source clone and installation procedure outlined above.
	78	+
	79	+{{/info}}
	80	+
	81	+{{info value="Custom Development Enviroment File layout using Custom wolips.properties"}}
	82	+
	83	+If you have a custom wolips properties file for a specific workspace and you want to have a specific Wonder clone for that workspace, you can simply link your custom wolips properties file to a soft link named build.properties in the working copy root directory. The Wonder build script will supersede all other filesystem layout poperties with the properties in that file.
	84	+
	85	+For example:
	86	+
	87	+{code}
	88	+$ cd my/special/purpose/clone/of/Wonder
	89	+$ ln -s ~/Library/Application\ Support/WOLips/wolips.custom.properties build.properties
	90	+{code}
	91	+
	92	+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.
	93	+
	94	+*Tip:* Specify a custom build directory for Wonder by adding the property 'wo.external.root' to the custom wolips properties file, for example
	95	+{code}
	96	+wo.external.root=/Users/mike/Developer/special/directory/Roots
	97	+{code}
	98	+
	99	+*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.
