Getting the Wonder Source Code

Why?

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:

• You'll learn a lot about WebObjects, EOF and Object-Oriented Patterns
• Easily search and browse Project Wonder
• Work with a specific revision of Project Wonder, which is key for teams, quality control and development cycles
• Add logging statements to Project Wonder so you can better understand what it is doing when tracking down hard to find bugs
• Discover the Many Hidden Treasures of Wonder™.

Download It!

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.

1. Clone the source repository from GitHub into a new directory named "WonderSource" or whatever you'd like.

   git clone git://github.com/wocommunity/wonder.git WonderSource If "git://" does not work for you then use "http://" 

   The [note] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that its on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.You should see output something like this: 

   Unknown macro: noformat. Click on this message for details.

   The [noformat] macro is not in the list of registered macros. Verify the spelling or contact your administrator.

2. Navigate into the working copy root

   cd WonderSource

Work with the Latest Changes - Integration Branch

The integration branch of Wonder is where the most recent fixes, additions, new features, etc., are merged in for testing and vetting by the community. By checking out integration you can benefit from all of these latest commits to the Wonder project before they are pulled into master/trunk. And the community can benefit by having another contributor to the improvement of Wonder. To work with the integration branch in Git, you will simply checkout that branch from your repository like so:

cd WonderSource

• Build Project Wonder frameworks with Hudson/Jenkins

  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 Installing and Configuring Jenkins page.
