5 -Some examples needs Apache Derby, an embedded Java database (OpenBase is not included with WO anymore). To install the databases, you have to do:
5 +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. It isn't as hard as you might think, and WOLips is a much more powerful WebObjects IDE.

9 +1. h6. Download Golipse
10 +[[Golipse>>https://github.com/rebeld/Golipse]] will fetch the needed version of Eclipse, WOLips and other tools for WebObjects development.
11 +1. h6. Install the WebObjects
12 +The best way to install the WebObjects frameworks is according to [[these instructions>>WOL:Using WOLips With Multiple Versions of WebObjects]].
13 +1. h6. Start Eclipse and switch to the WOLips perspective.
14 +1*. Under the //Window// menu, select //Open Perspective > Other...//.

25 +Xcode is no longer the supported IDE for WebObjects development or deployment. However, downloading it and installing it will install tools debugging tools that you might find useful.

35 +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.
36 +
37 +Make sure //Web Sharing// is enabled in the //Sharing// panel in //System Preferences// (note: 10.5 comes with Apache 2.2 as the default).
38 +
39 +Edit ///etc/apache2/httpd.conf// (if you did a fresh install, you may already have these - search httpd.conf first)
40 +
41 +Search for rewrite//module, and above it, add this line~://

49 +Go to the very end and add:

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.
51 +{{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.
53 +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 :-)

22 -For each project, right-click on each project, select Build Path -> Configure Build Path...
57 +Search for "Directory /" and comment out the Order and Deny lines:

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.
70 +Restart apache
31 31  
32 -After you corrected the build path, the project will rebuild itself and the errors shoud dissapear
72 +{{code}}
33 33  
34 -You also have to fix the build path for JavaBusinessLogic and RelatedLinks because the Derby path is incorrect.
