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>>WOL:XcodeMigration]]. 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>>http://cloud.github.com/downloads/rebeld/Golipse/Golipse.app_build_9.zip]] ([[source>>https://github.com/rebeld/Golipse]]) will fetch the needed version of Eclipse, WOLips and other tools for WebObjects development.
11
12 {{note title="32-bit computers"}}
13 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"

16 1. h6. Install the WebObjects
17 The best way to install the WebObjects frameworks is according to [[these instructions>>WOL:Using WOLips With Multiple Versions of WebObjects]].
18 1. h6. Start Eclipse and switch to the WOLips perspective.
19 1*. Under the //Window// menu, select //Open Perspective > Other...//.
20 [[image:PerpectiveMenu.png]]
21 1*. h6. Select //WOLips// and click //Ok//.

24 {{note title="WOLips Perspective"}}
25 If you don't switch to the WOLips perspective, you won't be able to create new WebObjects projects.

38 = Running Monitor and wotaskd on Mac OS X =
39
40 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.
41
42 Make sure //Web Sharing// is enabled in the //Sharing// panel in //System Preferences// (note: 10.5 comes with Apache 2.2 as the default).
43
44 Edit ///etc/apache2/httpd.conf// (if you did a fresh install, you may already have these - search httpd.conf first)
45
46 Search for rewrite//module, and above it, add this line~://
47
48 {{code}}
49
50 LoadModule WebObjects_module /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/mod_WebObjects.so
51
52 {{/code}}
53
54 Go to the very end and add:
55
56 {{code}}
57
58 Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf
59
60 {{/code}}
61
62 Search for "Directory /" and comment out the Order and Deny lines:
63
64 {{code}}
65
66 <Directory />
67 Options FollowSymLinks
68 AllowOverride None
69 #Order deny,allow
70 #Deny from all
71 </Directory>
72
73 {{/code}}
74
75 Restart apache
76
77 {{code}}
78
79 sudo apachectl graceful
80
81 {{/code}}
82
83 If you run //ps auxw grep httpd// you should see apache now running
84
85 Create ///Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.webobjects.wotaskd.plist// with:
86 (for OSX 10.5 make sure the permissions of this file are 644 system/wheel/everyone otherwise launchctl will throw a "dubious permissions" error when you try to load the plist with the commands that follow)
