Pascal Robert 73.1 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.

Pascal Robert 73.1 9 1. h6. Download Golipse
10 [[Golipse>>https://github.com/downloads/rebeld/Golipse/Golipse.app_build_13.zip]] ([[source>>https://github.com/rebeld/Golipse]]) will fetch the needed version of Eclipse, WOLips and other tools for WebObjects development.

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...//.

Pascal Robert 61.1 25 If you don't switch to the WOLips perspective, you won't be able to create new WebObjects projects.

Quinton Dolan 63.1 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).
Pascal Robert 61.1 43
Quinton Dolan 63.1 44 Edit ///etc/apache2/httpd.conf// (if you did a fresh install, you may already have these - search httpd.conf first)
