7 += ProjectBuilder and XCode =
6 6  
9 +ProjectBuilder and Xcode are no longer supported IDEs for WebObjects development or deployment. While legacy projects may still use it there is little, if any, support available for it. Existing projects (except Objective-C WebObjects projects, of course) should be [[migrated to WOLips>>doc:WOL.XcodeMigration]]. It isn't as hard as you might think, and WOLips is a much more powerful WebObjects IDE.

20 +By default Golipse will download and install a 64-bit version of Eclipse. If you have an older 32-bit machine you can specify the download URL for the Eclipse package in 'Golipse > Preferences'. The latest 32-bit package is "http:~/~/ftp.osuosl.org/pub/eclipse/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6.2-201102101200/eclipse-SDK-3.6.2-macosx-cocoa.tar.gz"

55 += Running Monitor and wotaskd on Mac OS X =
56 +
57 +Monitor and wotaskd are installed, but the launchd scripts to start them are not installed. You can grab them from a 10.5 Server installation, or follow those instructions.
58 +
59 +Make sure //Web Sharing// is enabled in the //Sharing// panel in //System Preferences// (note: 10.5 comes with Apache 2.2 as the default).
60 +
61 +Edit ///etc/apache2/httpd.conf// (if you did a fresh install, you may already have these - search httpd.conf first)
62 +
63 +Search for rewrite_module, and above it, add this line:

7 7  {{code}}
8 8  
9 -cd /Developer/Examples/JavaWebObjects/
10 -sudo sh installDatabases.sh <yourusername>
67 +LoadModule WebObjects_module /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/mod_WebObjects.so
11 11  
12 12  {{/code}}
13 13  
14 -Now, you can import the examples into Eclipse. Start Eclipse, select File -> Import, and select General -> Existing Projects into Workplace.
71 +Go to the very end and add:
15 15  
16 -On the next page, select Select root directory and browse your disk to /Developer/Examples/JavaWebObjects. You should see a list of projects to import. Deselect the second javaeoutil project, or else you won't be able to import the projects.
73 +{{code}}
17 17  
18 -You should see the projects in the WO Package Explorer. If you see the projects in Package Explorer (without the WO), that means that you are using the Java perpective instead of the WOLips perpective.
75 +Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf
19 19  
20 -Now, you need to fix the examples, because the build path is pointing to the source projects of the WO frameworks, source that nobody outside Apple has access to :-)
77 +{{/code}}
21 21  
22 -For each project, right-click on each project, select Build Path -> Configure Build Path...
79 +Search for "Directory /" and comment out the Order and Deny lines:
23 23  
24 -Click on the Projects tab, select the references to the WO frameworks and click Remove
81 +{{code}}
25 25  
26 -Click on the Libraries tab, click the Add Library button
83 +<Directory />
84 + Options FollowSymLinks
85 + AllowOverride None
86 + #Order deny,allow
87 + #Deny from all
88 +</Directory>
27 27  
28 -Select WebObjects Frameworks and click Next
90 +{{/code}}
29 29  
30 -Click System, open the triangle next to System and make sure that JavaEOAccess, JavaEOControl, JavaFoundation, JavaWebObjects, JavaWOExtensions and JavaXML are selected. For the SchoolToolsClient, you also need to add the JavaWebServicesSupport and JavaWebServicesClient. For the SchoolToolsServer, you also need to add the JavaWebServicesSupport.
92 +Restart apache
31 31  
32 -After you corrected the build path, the project will rebuild itself and the errors shoud dissapear
94 +{{code}}
33 33  
34 -You also have to fix the build path for JavaBusinessLogic and RelatedLinks because the Derby path is incorrect.
